Yet, there are a lot of women of that generation who are still on
welfare, as are their children. Meanwhile, the rest of us went to
school, got jobs, found places to live and then had children. What
suckers we were. We could have stayed home and let others support us.
Instead, we paid higher taxes to look after them and their kids as well
as ourselves.
