Today, millions of smart, hard working Americans are flipping burgers, waiting tables or working dead end retail jobs not because they want to, but because they have no other options.

So a days hard work is now evil and detested in the USA.

Besides, truthfully, if they are "smart" and "hard working" they aren't flipping burgers for very long.

It has become a status symbol any more to sit on your a$$ and not earn a dime but get paid a millionaires wages.

You're missing something. That's only true when the President is Reagan.

Obama is using government and unions to destroy jobs. No longer is it a matter of being willing to work hard; it is a matter of the long arm of government stopping hard work.

Think so? You're quite mistaken. There are a lot of jobs for which there is no up--no possibility of promotion. If you're not young enough, if you're not the right color or ethnicity, you are not going to get promoted even if you save the company's bacon.

God Knows how many Americans have spent their whole lives working those "Dead end jobs" and never complained a bit. The derision heaped on manual labor in this country is disgusting.
