Before you even get called in for the interview, you have to get past the H.R. drone who screens the resumes looking for minimum requirements such as a degree. More importantly, the KIND of work you spend that first 5 years doing is driven is large part by having a degree. Also, Michael Dell had a millionaire stock broker for a father... Bill Gates' dad was a prominent attorney and his granddad was a bank president. If you have family money to help launch your own business, then perhaps your educational pedigree matters less. If you come from a middle or working-class background, I'd suggest you go to class. Oh please… it matters on your resume forever.

You are certain that all those who vote on 1000 page pieces of legislation only a day after the bill is written have actually read what they are voting on? You think that the State did its due diligence in preparing and equipping our soldiers before sending them into harms way (I was there. The answer is no). You believe that our borders are secure? You think that they don't fund abortion with taxpayer dollars? We have done our job in gathering and verifying these grievances. I ask that you do the same. Why is there a need for this? I suppose that once you research our grievances and verify their truth value, that the reason for why this is needed will become self-evident. Really?
