>>That is anathema to the liberals

This liberal shined shoes, delivered newspapers, pumped gas, washed cars, poured beer, set up pins in bowling alleys, shagged golf balls, caddied, polished golf clubs, fixed flats, overhauled engines and wrote sports stories for the local newspaper while hustling my way through college and I can point to many of my liberal friends who did similar things.
If there was a way to make a buck without breaking the law, we found it and did it.
I'm happy to say that my children, who also lean to the left, work even harder than I did.

I respect you for what you've accomplished and I respect the sincerity of your political views.
I can tell you what's anathema to me some day.. but for sure.. it's not hard work.
