I was talking with one co-worker who was telling me about why he supports the Republicans. He told me that he did not want to share his money with lazy people who do not want to work. He went on saying how there are ladies driving caddies and collecting food stamps (we all heard of the myth of the welfare queens, right?) He also told me that these guys who stand under viaducts panhandling motorists for change earn more money than I do. Now I will grand you, I am no Donald Trump. I do not have a six figure income or even half of six figures. But I find it hard to believe that being a professional begger can net you enough bread to pay your mortgage every month. In fact I would wager that those cats who stand with squeegies offering to wash your car or who claim to want just enough money to catch a bus home don'e even have a home to go to. My bud at work went on to say that if a person can get in a position where they are billionaires than he salutes them and thinks they are entitled to their wealth. This leaves a sour question in my mind though, just how does one turn over six or seven figures?

Last November 25 young people took a stand at Berwyn's Morton West High School. Defying authorities, these youths staged a peaceful protest in the school cafeteria. The school administration reacted by suspending the students and threatening them with expulsion.
