That Obama phone is stepping up.. This reminds me of the mom that checks in at my step dads work. He is a juvinille probation officer.
He can never get a hold of her until late in the afternoon, she in unemployed, and has 6 kids. 3 of them are on probation fyi..
He needs to get into contact because on of them needs to go on house arrest. She gets pissed and storms in his office. Says I am a single mom I am sorry I don't have time to watch my kids 24 hours a day (so whose responsibility is it to take care of them? if its the gov'ts then the gov't should take them away)
He says mam I am sorry, but either your son goes to juvinille hall or goes on house arrest. She flips out and then says ok what ever. He said it is going to cost you though 30$ a month for the home monitoring system. She then gets irate how she is in gov't assistance and bla bla bla... That she can not afford that so he pulls out her brand new Iphone to call some one to bitch about it. I think her boyfriend or something. My step dad says mam look at my cell phone, it is a 9 year old flip phone with a pull out antennae. I am also a professor at the city college and feel even with my budget I can not afford an Iphone when I know my daughter who is 11 needs to go to college. He then notices she had a designer purse, fresh nails done and being that my mom owns a beauty salon he knows how much it costs to get your hair done as well.
So he tells her mam if you can not budget your finances to pay 30$ a month but can afford all these luxuries we are going to have to call child services, or we can help you do a budget plan if your willing. So she does the budget plan. She makes over 6k a month off of gov't assistance when you add up EVERY thing. His mind was BLOWN. Yet she is broke... So just curious what kind of car she drives, because he drives a 97 mercury villager hand me down from my mom mini van and being that he makes over 110k a year, he is curious what she drives. A fucking escalade on 26's. He said that thing had more TV's in it then best buy.
So yes, when I say I have NO desire to help the poor it is because people like this. My mom was also a single mom raising me working three jobs as a new hairdresser, waitress at a cocktail bar, and cashier at a beauty supply. She taught me my work ethic and raised me that you never ask for help until you have expired all possible resources. Single mom working, three jobs... I never understood why she made me play every single sport there was at school lol. I all ways thought it was because she wanted me to be athletic, but it was because it was free and she could not afford some one to watch me.
