i worked so hard, it would make most men cry, and even slept on the streets of NJ, just to make it thru college and pay everyting in full.

what you dont know is i had to work around my visa status as soon as SEPT 11 happened and the economy took a ****ter and has not recovered till now, and the govt cutting off H1-B visas to recent internatinal graduates.

I got job offered at Lehman Bros., Deutsche bank, Canton Fitzgerald and they all went down with the twin towers.

So no large corporation would hire international graduates unless they were transfered from another company already.(within those periods)

long story short, worked for a couple of corporate firms then started my own business thru other means... and i am here today.

i never give up and i ve been growing as a person, an investor and learning to adapt to changes as they go along.

i cant depend on the economy, the laws, the president, the crowd etc.... its decisions i make that will change my life.

if i was dependent on anyother forces and not move for the smarter decision, i would be back in my country as a second grade citizens with less rights then someone else. everything that america/freedom is against.

as of today, i m looking to acquire investments of over 7 figures, something i ve not done and i am scared... but it will change my life if it goes thru despite the risk and the economy and despite who comes into office.
excuses show the worst in somebody. i would have zero dollars in the bank to being worth 7 figures all in a matter of minutes of a deal if it ever goes thru.

i will be a millionaire with or without help from the govt. makes no difference to me. they have been my biggest set back as far as i know, so what difference is it going to make......

i just feel bad for the others.

i dont see either of them as politicians of the re or blue, i see them as people i can relate.

someone i can see meeting with other political leaders and breaking barriers and proving to the world, america is not about supremacy or about capitalist and deterrant forces... but america is about its people.

im simplicity and ignorant phrase from me, of course i read both their agendas and listen to both of them continuosly coz i am about learning, my simple analogy, politics aside is...

i would vouch for a man with one humble house and drive a ford escape hybrid, who has more to lose if he loses his house, then a man who is worth 150 million and have 13 houses and mansions and 12 cars.

altho that doesnt matter in the race to the seat, but its a great motivation for me. he has made his decisions and have come thus far from humble beginings....i d give that man a chance to run.

it shows alot of courage.

i appreciate your respect. thanks, Mike.
WOW. That's all I can say after reading this post. But I still have one question. Why after everything you have been through would you or anyone else in your cituation want someone in office that is going to take 60% of what you have worked so hard for?
