There were no formal jobs for me when I was a kid, but I managed to get by with NO handouts. I mowed yards, hauled hay and these efforts led to something better. You show people you're not afraid of work and you will get work.

It is quite unfortunate, but as our country moves rapidly towards socialism, people learn that they will get a hand out, thus they LEARN that they don't HAVE to work. They can sit on their A$$ until someone comes along and feeds them.

Very sad.

Show me a kid or anyone that is down on their luck and is out mowing a yard or hauling hay to try to eat, and I'll show you someone that I and many others want to help.

Conversely show me someone sitting on their A$$ asking for a handout and is apparantly healthy enough to work and I will walk right by that person with no bad conscience at all.

Times are tough! I got it! Tough times call for tough measures.

BTW, this has nothing to do with politics. It has to do with effort, determination and taking responsibility for ones own life rather than EXPECT someone else to take care of you because you're too damn lazy to do it yourself.

If times are hard you have to sell the fancy car. If you have a ragged car, you might even have to sell it. It is NO ONE's responsibility except ones SELF to care for ones SELF!
