Let me tell you about a few personal experiences in my life which helped mold my political views.
-I grew up in a low income household, with both of my parents working full-time to support us. My father worked for the state, but we were still so low income that we qualified for food stamps
-I worked full-time on the overnight shift for 7 years at wal-mart to put myself through college. I learned more about hard work and determination in those 7 years than any other time in my life
-When I was 25 I lost a job when the company I worked for replaced the workers with illegal immigrants (I helped train them to do my job)
-I spent at least 5 years of my life without health insurance after I turned 18.
-My mother suffered a devastating back injury that has prevented her from working for 3 years. Her employer turned their back on her after the first year.
-I worked 2 full-time (80+ hours a week) jobs for 1.5 years after graduating college
-I have been robbed at gunpoint (as a teenager) twice.
-My grandfather, was a severe alcoholic, and served time in prison for murder
-I was layed off and unemployed for months during the recent recession, but have recently bounced back
