Raised in a conservative household---fairly well to do. Family turned out to be very superficial people. Didn't see it till I had some distance from them. Later when I was barely making it in Florida and went to file a grievance with the Labor Board and didn't get anywhere I learned it was because a Republican governor was in office. When a democratic governor got elected, I was able to get somewhere and got some back pay owed me. Other experiences have reinforced my belief that I no longer want to reside in a Republican controlled area.
