Aanyone who thinks it’s a good idea to take money from those that worked hard and made all the right choices to make something of themselves and give it to those who just want to sit around and watch TV while tossing back a few brews, who at every step made the wrong decisions, need to get their heads examined.
And how is it that, at least anecdotal evidence is that many of the “poor” are getting enough to eat? Many of them seem to drive nice vehicles, and have the “bling” if you know what I mean. Yet they are officially poor.
Maybe they are poor because they spend all the money they have on cars and bling and all that. But that begs the question as to how desperately poor are they, if they get enough to eat, have a place to live, and apparently don’t have to work for a living to have the things they have?
And there’s anecdotal evidence that some people are cheating on Social Security disability. Otherwise able bodied people somehow become officially disabled, and then collect benefits.
There’s a collective entitlement mentality which has taken root among critical masses in this country. And that’s as dangerous to our future as terrorist attacks or other dangers. The entitlement mentality has merged with a “baby mama” culture to produce a generation of people who won’t be productive citizens in their future.
