Being Citybroke is about perspective. It’s about seeing glitter in the gutter and a sense of humor when life is giving you everything you don’t exactly want and you’re hanging on for a dream that you sometimes can’t remember.
It’s not sales or survival - it’s an electronic letter from the trenches. It’s what suits who make $60K in at age 24 can’t even imagine. It’s Freedom. It’s Poverty. It’s Broken. It’s Beautiful.

Ron Paul Top 10 Donors

Ron Paul gets all his dough from individuals. This list shows where most of his backers work. He's kind of the cool kid, isn't he? Google, Microsoft, Cisco...and check out the armed forces rallying around the Man who wants to time travel to pre-FDR days in terms of gov't spending and has always been against the war in Iraq.
The weird one is General Dynamics -
General Dynamics is a market leader in business aviation; land and expeditionary combat vehicles and systems, armaments, and munitions; shipbuilding and marine systems; and mission-critical information systems and technologies.
Why is anti-war Ron Paul being backed by both sides of the military industrial complex, albeit individuals? Hmmm..maybe GD is transitioning to non-combat self-described "business machines?"
