Now that I'm 30...

Now that I'm 30, I have time to look back on what the government has done about our deficit. Unfortunately  due to the fact that nothing has changed at all. I was unable to get into college because the taxes that we had prevented my family from being able to put any money away for me, so I live my life just as my parents did. Working three entry level jobs, just barely making it from pay check to pay check. My taxes got so horrible that I was forced to marry my high school boyfriend who also works three entry level jobs that are completely dead end. The reason we married is because then we could put each other on our taxes and hope to get some from of a tax deduction. We also have 8 children, and are paying for medical bills because one is autistic due to the unhealthy food my family is forced to buy with our limited income. Even with all these tax deductions in how our system works, I am still hardly making ends meet with my family. 

I graduated high school in the hopes that something interesting would happen, and by interesting I mean the fact that maybe the government would actually pull their heads out of their butts and try to make things better before the worse is to come. Our government did not do this. The life I am forced to provided my family is one that the baby boomers would originally see as to not possible, and I am here to say I am not lower class of the USA. No, my situation is considered higher-middle class. All the major companies moved their work to outsourcing and there is a huge line between the wealthy and the poor. My children are hungry and I am never home to see them.I have to keep working, same with my husband whom we don't really talk anymore because we simply were not right for each other but the tax deduction was too irresistible for us to not take it. This is the life we have now in the USA. This is what our government has provided us.
