(Page 6 of 13)

br> -- Bill Vick /p> p> If you give a man a fish, he will eat for a day. If you teach a man to fish he will eat for a lifetime. If you create a program that costs millions upon millions of tax payer dollars with no accountability that produces neither fish nor fisherman, then you bankrupt the working class to feed a bureaucracy that shall not vanish from the from the face of this earth. br> -- Ira M. Kessel br> Rochester, New York /p>
