Carey, I consider that a personal attack on me, and I do not appreciate it. I have paid into the social security system from the age of 14, when I worked in my grandmother's antique shop. I also, then went on to work for 20 yrs in hospitals at decent wages. Just because at the moment, because I have small children- I am taking a short breather from paying as much in, as in the past- does not mean that I am not a "contributor" by nature. My next degree will have me employed at good wages and be paying in again. Be greatful Carey, that some of us X'ers really do have a good work ethic! YOu need us to keep paying into the system to support you!
