[TriLUG] OT: URGENT: H.129 to be heard in Thursday's Finance Committee!

[David Hostetler]

Thank you Bak for your question:
"So Dave, last time you lost your job, did you collect unemployment, or
did you turn up your nose at a socialist handout?"

I love this question so so much.  Read carefully....   I HAVE NEVER TAKEN
UNEMPLOYMENT, NOR WILL I EVER.  I DO NOT EXPECT TO RECEIVE SOCIAL SECURITY,
AND I INSURE MYSELF AGAINST THINGS SUCH AS JOB LOSS SO THAT I DO NOT HAVE TO
RELY ON THE GOVERNMENT OR ANYONE BUT MYSELF.
