: About Me

I love to learn and grow through reading and writing. I find myself chewing up hours investigating things on the news, internet, and in books. I am an incredibly fast reader and it is one of my favorite hobbies. My main interests are politics/government and history.

The right to work at a certain company can hinge on the results of that test. People in position of authority need to verify certain lifestyle choices before investing money into an individual. Welfare recipients should be no different. They receive a benefit, a payment from the taxpayers. We as taxpayers deserve to know if our money, our investment is being spent wisely.
