I’m furious

I cannot remember being this angry in many years.

I got my first job when I was 15 years old and I am now 67 years old. All that time I have been paying taxes. I have 52 years of spending and supporting the economy of the U.S. I have been saving my money to be able to purchase my first home, once again supporting the economy of the nation. In 52 years I have only had to depend on the government for food stamps for possibly 6 months. I am not a user. I am an independent,- work for what you want, don’t depend on someone else to give it to you woman.

Now, because I refuse to get the COVID-19 vaccination, the government tells me I cannot work. I will be losing my job in December. How is that right? How is it OK for the government to tell me that I must have this vaccine injected into my body in order to be able to support myself? It is my right to say what goes into my body and what does not — My body, My choice.

The American dream of, “If you work hard and save your money you can have your own home,” is fading. I am FURIOUS.
