Socialism is one step removed from Communism

Communism is an Atheistic form of government. In short, if you believe in god, guess what--you will also loose your right to worship under a country ruled by Obama and the Democratic Party. Folks if you think things are rough today, you should have lived through the Great Depression of l929, like I, my family and millions of our citizens. Yes, the Unemployed rate was 29.9--their was no unemployment compensation. In 1929, My Mother was diagnosed as an epileptic--there was no Medicare--she died at age 35 in May l941. During this period I was sent to live in an Orphans Home, when my mother was Hospitalized along with two of my sisters and two of my brothers in 1936. After my mother died, out of 11 children born of my mother, 9 of us still survived. With her death in l941, our family was once again broken up. The five youngest were sent to an Orphans home and the four oldest were allowed to remain with our father I was ten years old .In this time period I was to live an orphans home, a training school for boys along with my brother ED, Reason: My father on his job, had a bad accident and broke several ribs--there was no Workman's compensation. As such Ed and I became the sole means of support for the family now consisting 3, our father Ed and I. To Provide an income, Ed and I worked 5 days aweeksetting pins in a bowling alley each of us jumping two lanes at age l3 and 14, I being the youngest after 12 midnight. After work, living in Illinois, we would then have to walk home some times, in snow storms, freezing weather, to an unheated one room storefront house, climb into a bed with no sheets, pillow case and only one blanket. As such, we were skipping school and when they finally caught up with us--we were sent to a training school for boys. Our Crime we went to work to support what was left of our family. I ran away for the school on the first day--got caught, a week latter ran away again.. This time I did not get caught. Returning,my dad and I lived alone together, and shortly afterwords, I awoke to find my Dad working around with a wet towel on his screaming out that they were trying to kill him by gassing him. It was about this, near Easter that my brother Ed came home, between us, we managed to keep our father in the House so no one would find out about his condition, however, one day he got out and a neighbor called the police to come and take him away. As such Ed and I were spilt up and sent to sefveral foster homes. I was sent to 6 and He 3. What Ive written here is only a snippet of my younger life during the depression years, WWII and until atage 17 in January l948, I Joined The United States Air Force Yes, there is much more to my story. But I do not want to dwell on it. I am just trying to let those people out their, that what is happening now shall pass--life will go on. But don't blame your country for all that is bad. I starting from age eight, until I joined Air Force, worked in 27 different jobs. I, in this day and age and at my age, could find this many places to work-- yes I mean work! I could find work in a Full blown Depression. Walk the streets look at all the help wanted posted in the store windows and such. If you want to work, you can readily find a job. If you want charity--I say stop your whinning! The Messenger.
