Apparently the blog I previously posted about liberalism and the fact that Obama's ideals will hurt this country didn't sit too well with my sister and she made it personal, so I'm going to post her initial reply to my blog and the back and forth responses between the two of us and then of course my sister got my parents involved and my father is pissed off at me because of course he has nothing without his girlfriend paying for it. The SUV he bought brand new was thanks to his girlfriends good credit. Other wise he couldn't afford to pay for it. He can live in a single family house paying $1600 a month rent because his mom and his girlfriend help him pay his rent and other bills. So I'm sure none of them will be talking to me again.
your my sister and i love you but you couldn't be more wrong. why don't you start thinking about MY HARD WORKING HUSBAND who pays more taxes than a lazy ass lawyer who sits on his ass all day doing nothing. My husband deserves the tax breaks he's earned and so has my children. You of all people should know how much we are struggling and you have the nerve to talk about him making rich people pay more taxes. Our economy wuldn't be in the mess it's in if our current presedent would let other countries take care of their own problems instead of our taxe dollars going towards shipping millitary and weapons overseas. I guess you have magically forgot what it's like to not have any money and struggle to get by. Are you forgettting that mom and dad lived on pasta for almost a year when you were born. Remember I don't own any property my husband isn't in the military making A tripple digit income. I have a 5 familty houshold and we make less than $40,000 a year. i think you need to open your eyes and realize Obama is going to make a better life for my children. I'm sorry if you don't like the fact that your gonna have to pay more taxes but I need that break. It's not about him being African American it's about who is better for Our country and Obama is the better man for the job. And you know what yeah I'm happy that there isn't gonna be another OLD WHITE MAN taking my husband money that he busts his ass to make.
How about if you open your eyes little sister and take a look at military pay scales. My husband doesn't get a pay increase every three or four months for doing a good job at work. He is salary so you know what when he's at work for a week straight or six months straight he's not getting overtime for being there. You're husband gets extra pay for any time he does over 40 hours a week and you know what my husband has been in the military long enough and doing his job long enough that the equivelant civilian job makes a six figure salary. My husband makes just under $50K a year and a few years ago he almost lost his life serving his country. Protecting your right to spout all the uneducated misinformed Bull that you think you know. How about doing some research on whats really going on in this country and take a look at the great tri state area that is mostly Democrat run... Look at the crime rates. Go take a good look in your home city and I mean all parts of it at all the 'project' housing that is abused and over crowded and how many of them are just sitting there waiting for a handout without ever really earning a damn thing. If you think lawyers are lazy you need to think again. What happens when you need one and he's to busy sitting on his ass doing nothing to be bothered working on your case. They spend many years in college and many years paying off loans to be able to make the money they make and only the ones in private practice make the kind of money you are talking about. Talk to a District Attorney or a court appointed lawyer you know what they make... about the same as your husband. If you think I'm full of shit ask Ramona she'll tell you. What do you think will happen to places like Andros once the tax goes up for George and Irene you think they will be able to keep the doors open. You think you will be able to go in there once in a while and be able to afford the food they serve. You better think again. In the end the little people will pay for the tax hikes on the 'rich'. If the rich have to pay more to have their family business they will charge the consumer more money. Those people have mouths to feed also.
The reason Josh and I have what we have is because we manage our money well and we plan for things. We don't buy shit we don't need. If we do overspend between pay days then yes we struggle too but you know what before we go totally crazy we make sure all the bills are paid. If Josh and I were piss poor and he was at risk for losing his job at any given time then we sure as hell would not have had children. But those things don't come to mind until its too late and you are sitting there complaining about how you are always broke.
This is how my sister reacts to things when we have a difference of opinion. If she wants me to put her business out there... then here it is. I call family to find out how she's doing because I don't want to fight with her and she just slaps me in the face. Sad part is I just sent gifts for her kids because she was complaining she was broke and blah blah blah and all the kids bdays fall right around or after Christmas so I figured I'd help her out. Bet I don't even get a thank you from her because of course that is what she expects. That everyone should be around to bail her ass out of things. This is the letter she wrote me today only a couple of hours ago.
so let me duess you think it's ok for Mccain to raise taxes on my husbandf who actually busts his ass working to support me and our three kids but it's not ok for Obama to tax your husband for working them coming home any playing video games and not even being a real father to his son real nice. you have no idea what's going on in newark and I never knew that you of all people would turn your back on the city that you were born and raised in. That's fucked up. I could care lees if Obama is black or white. Our government needs to stop sending our tax money overseas so that our soldiers can fight for the freedom or the Iraqi people instead of spending it on fixing our country and helping our citizens find jobs. I sit on my ass all day and guess what i'm not looking for a handout. Get a clue you no longer have the concept of an american citizen your a military wife. and you wanna talk about some shit how dare you put my problems up on myspace for everyone to read. your a real great sister have a nice life don't talk to me ever agaiun. I guess it takes a real woman yo call mommy and daddy and wonder why her little sister is so hurt by her comments.
your uneducated sister
How's this for how almighty of a sister you are. Who was the one who left becasue she couldn't deal with the stress at home, YOU. Who was the one who left me do deal ith everything going on with Our parents, YOU. You have got some nerve talking about how i'm always looking for someone to bail my ass out but guess what I'm not. You want the stuff you got the boys back I'll send it back I don't need it. I'm the one who stayed here and suffered while Our parents were getting a divorce not you. You like the little coward you are ran away form the problems and joined the navy. Get over yourself your not tough and I can still kick your ass. I was the one who was always going after people becasue they hurt you not the other way around. Remeber I can take care of myself always have always will. You think your better than me but guess what your not. I would never want to have your life. I would never want to be a miss know it all. Get over yourself why don't you tell all your friends how you couldn't handle being around your family and you left. You left your 14 yr old sister behind to deal with everything by herself. Never once called to find out how I was handling things. No all you cared about was yourself. I guess things don't change. I pitty you for living your miserable life but I don't need that influence in mine. Wow mom and dad are right all you care about is yourself and how you always have to be right and how I shouldn't let anything you say bother me. THANKS FOR THE KIDS GIFTS BUT IF YOU WANT THEM BACK YOU CAN HAVE THEM I DON'T WANT ANYTHING FROM ANYONE WHO THINKS I'M UNGRATEFUL OR LOOKING FOR HANDOUTS.
This was my dads response:
first of all you are not a white girl you are Puerto Ricn and Spanish and you were born in Newark NJ

You know, we may not always see eye to eye on politics or religion or ...hell, anything for that matter but at least we have the maturity and decency to respect each others opinions and not take it fuckin personal. I know people who act like if you don't vote for their candidate you must be the worst person in the world. Um... no ? Thats why we have the system we do...to allow each and every person the right, chance, and privilege to get the fuck up and out and make your opinion known. It's not about rallying everyone behind you...or insulting those who disagree...it's about taking the time to make an educated decision based on your ideals and needs....and letting that stand. EVERY candidate has good and bad points.... neither are perfect, but you pick who's going to do what's best for you and yours...and you hope enough people agree with you to win. If you don't, you dust your ass off...and do better next time. God...some people are so stupid, you really begin to regret that whole 9months of sobriety deal that obviously didn't pay off.
