Some people including this woman caller on local KGO talk radio yesterday morning feel they aren't going to get any help from the government. This poor caller who grew up and lives in Marin county (the upscale county just north of San Francisco) who with her husband own two businesses, have three children and four cars are just barely able to make their mortgage. The evening host on KGO, Gene Burns, heard this call and went ballistic last night in his first hour. Gene is no socialist, in fact he is a former libertarian who only changed his registration to the Democratic party so he could vote for Obama in the state primary. He was enraged by this woman's feeling of "entitlement."
You see if you were born and grew up and can afford to live in Marin country you're pretty damn fortunate. So why whine? We seem to have a few whiners on FFL too who probably aren't exactly homeless and jobless but greedy. Here is a link to the MP3 file from the first hour of last nights show (don't know if folks out of the country can download this as KGO used to block foreign downloads). http://bayradio.com/kgo_archives/32000.mp3 (note that these files change weekly so if you're reading this in the future you may not get the right file).
