[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 290232, member: 198"] I really like that last part about what Reagan said. It's so true. Right now there are too many people in this country, or the world for that matter, that can't even take care of themselves or their families. Depending on the government only encourages people to accept mediocre lives. It's much easier for them to sit back and blame society for their problems than to take control of their lives and strive for something better. Hence pointing their fingers at the uppper class for their problems. I still don't understand what is so hard to understand? If you want something bad enough and keep trying you'll succeed. Why can't certain people catch on? I live pretty close to a neighborhood with nothing but upperclass homes filled by people with high paying jobs. Most of them make allot of money. Did the government help them earn their way up to those high paying jobs or did they earn them with hard work and/or education? If more and more people are joining the ranks of the rich then maybe it's because more and more people have caught on to the fact that hard work and/or education instead of settling for mediocrity pays off. I've been making just over $40k/year as a cover driver and sometimes I wish I would have finished college or chose a different career but I didn't. Who is too blame? I am. Not the government. I don't feel that I have the right to expect the government to bail me out. Why should they? [/QUOTE]
