My charges were drug possion. Not anything more or less and YOU the taxpayer footed the $60000 it took to keep this drug addict in prison. I just got my one year chip from my AA group Sat. So when do I get to prove I can be a citizen. By the way I'm on unemployment which I paid into when I was working and the whole program is to get people off the roles. I had to bring in proof of my address and unemployment to even get in this program. Scranton and the surrounding area has the highest rate in the state. So let's just let them drill on our land bring in labor from other states (where the money is going back to by the way). Today I am driving to towanda to put in apps in hopes of securing a job and paying Pennsylvania taxes. I also do all my shopping in scranton. P.S. I'm a 35 year old white man.Jonathan lewisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470105285304935024.post-10232729395408283872010-09-10T13:28:18.865-04:002010-09-10T13:28:18.865-04:00fortunately for you , you havent made any mistakes...fortunately for you , you havent made any mistakes in your past. i have just finished the summer program from pathstone and i would like to say that it took alot of hard work. and there is more hardwork to be done to secure employment and even more hardwork after i get employed. i am grateful for the opportunity provided by pathstone. its actually not like the economic draft. we dont get a sign on bonus. we arent guaranteed a job after basic training. we still have to support ourselves and are families while we are in school. realistically when i get a job with a decent salary on one of these oil rigs, it will enable me to get out of this economic situation i am in.you talk about the economic backdoor draft. what about the fact there are more black men in jail than in college. so when the opportunity is presented to get out of that environment and given a chance to work hard for more than $8 an hour, why would you have a problem with that. have you ever supported a family on $250 a week. or worked for a dollar a day in a prison. but im not too concerned about the socio-economical perspective. im just trying to support my son.
