Tue Sep 18, 2012, 04:53 PMil_lilac (772 posts) My facebook post today-was it a mistake?I never, ever post on facebook (I troll) but today I posted Romney's 47% comment and was so furious I posted the following: Ok- I don't usually do this but here goes-I am one of that 47% and tired of feeling shamed for it! Life has thrown me more than one curveball- but NO ONE is going to tell me I do not take personal responsibility for my life! I did not pay any federal income tax last year. I paid 7000+ in property taxes, 10%+sales taxes, and live below the poverty level. My focus has been on raising aware, healthy children who I hope will have safety nets available for them if they fall in bad times. I have opened my home and wallet to those less fortunate than I (I am still blessed) and have accepted help from my caring neighbors when I needed it. I work multiple part time jobs, but I need healthcare and Pell grants to raise my children out of poverty.I am not a victim and I believe the government has a responsibility to take some care of those who struggle. If you think that is wrong BRING IT ON! I'm feeling vulnerable since I don't share how difficult day to day life is for me. Even here I feel ashamed saying I didn't pay (owe) any federal income tax last year I would love to make enough to pay, but I do pay plenty of tax... Just looking for feedback. Peace

$7,000 in property tax? That would be a couple hundred thousand dollar house. She is full of it.
Makes me love my little shack in red state hell just that much more.
$7k in property taxes? you are so full of shit your eyes are brown. Maybe she should shut down her friggin internet if she is in poverty, just a thought.
il_lilacI am not a victim
