[QUOTE="dillweed, post: 181535, member: 5938"] I'm also fed up with the amount of tax money being spent on folks who won't work. What happens when a hard working individual has serious injury or illness and can't pay the bills? No pity from Uncle Sam, that's for sure. They say it's your own fault for not preparing sufficiently for disaster. You can just take a lesser paying job or sell your home to exist. Then we have the folks whose entire lives have been a disaster and who have never tried or cared to keep a job. Uncle Sam bends over and doles out the goods. Too bad he can't dole out a desire to succeed. The government tries to create cheat-proof systems and spends lots of money doing it. But the takers have nothing better to do than figure out how to beat the system. Rest of us don't have time for it because... you're right! We're busy working. Don't want to start trouble but the Katrina thing got me riled up. So much spent to house and re-build those folks. Now I live in tornado country. If a tornado wipes out my home the government isn't going to house me or rebuild this house. I must keep home owner's insurance for such a disaster. What the heck? Thankfully, hard workers truly enjoy the excercise, feeling of accomplishment and team spirit that employment offers. The pride in earning our own way has great value. Mabye we should feel a bit sorry for those who lack the ambition and pride to provide for themselves. It takes some of the edge off the anger. dw [/QUOTE]
