I want a presidential candidate who has worked for a living. Not someone who just had a job–they all manage that at some point. I want someone who, dog-tired and sick as one too, dragged his or her ass to work because one more day in bed would mean not having the money to pay the mortgage.
How about a candidate who has faced the choice of buying food or medicine?
I’m tired of hearing from candidates who “understand my concerns.” I want one who’s been there and has the t-shirt to prove it.
Because, really? They don’t get it at all.
