You know the folks that do all low paying service related jobs and other tasks that people from North Oaks seem to enjoy; law service, health care, and on, and on, and on."
Vicky responds: Actually, North Oaks hasn't had any gates for thirty years. I don't know what "received the most" means. My immediate neighbors consist of a teacher, a carpenter who owns his own remodeling business, an engineer, a periodontist who teaches dentistry at the U of M, and an insurance salesman. The City has lots of seniors and many immigrant families (they do, to the best of my knowledge, support themselves however.) I see lots of the teenagers working at Cub, Arby's, and Culver's when they're not in school. I know lots of North Oaks women who spend all of their time raising money for various charities. The four families on my street are Democrats. Please tell me Mr. Bradley, what's wrong with these people? As you know, those who earn (emphasize earn, not receive) the most, pay the most. It seems to me that they should be thanked, rather than scorned. If it were not for them, everyone else would be paying a lot more.
