Quote from Brandonf:
All of the people who think the American Dream is dead are lazy and or full of shit. I grew up a dirt poor farm boy in Iowa. We did not even have hot water or heat in our house until I was in 4th grade. I can remember spending half the summer chopping wood with my brother's and hating it. We ate potato soup so much I still hate potato's. I was a fuck-up half my life, got into trouble all throughout HS, but finally got my act together and I'm doing very well. In spite of what Mike Moore would have you think our health care system is just fine, I'm LIVING testimonial to the quality of care we get here, as well as the fact that insurance companies will pay what they are supposed to pay (and what they wont pay for, since I've made a good amount of money in my life I can pay for myself). I'm only 32 years old, and if I can pull it off, trust me anyone else can too.
