[QUOTE="kerley, post: 478743, member: 7335"] Chrisy thanks for your input. I'm sorry England has the same problems we have and I'll bet most of us have been in line at the grocery and experienced the same thing. About 10 years ago I went back to college and remember registration day like it was yesterday. I had just retired and was getting pretty bored at home, so I wanted to brush up on new fangled gadgets called computers. The campus had an office for "Veterans" The sign said "Veterans Enter here to claim your benefits" I went in and sat down with a group of about 50 foreign speaking people. The Vet Rep had a translator and was explaining to the group about the benefits they were entitled too. They got free tuition, room and board and an allottment. Well, he finished with them and it was my turn. He wanted to know what I wanted? I said I don't know I saw your sign, I'm a Vet and am enquiring. He asked me how old I was. I told him and his reply was you are too old you have no benefits. I said "What about them?" He told me they were a whole different story. I am glad you offered up a solution.....'all that come to a Country should live and work for at least 10 years pay taxes and in our case health contributions before receiving any Social and have to pay half medical bills, and 20 years before receiving anything free.' If we cannot come together as a country on this issue, America will never be the same. We were founded on religious principals and hard work. My posting did stir up some thought and talk and I am glad for that. The silent minority needs to talk loud. And if some people want to call me ignorant, offensive, racist, or even a he/she (he for the record) so be it. I can take that and more and nothing much scares me anymore-except our country losing it's identity. [/QUOTE]
