I think I understand what you are saying.....but there comes a time, that after society has -- in so many cases -- fed, clothed, sheltered, educated (or tried to) and even paid people(welfare, foodstamps, medical assistance, and so many etcs) ....that eventually, these people MUST pick themselves out of the gutter of whatever dispair they have decided was their lot in life...
What would happen to these people if they were in ANY other country in the world....?????
I'm not talking about people who are disabled, mentally or physically. I'm talking about the ones who continually act as a sponge, and some who even have the audacity to rob, rape, destroy anything in their way, even after the help that society in general has given them.
THOSE are the people I call "lazy louts".....There comes a time that as a taxpayer, I've wished I could transfer the money I might have spent on this group of folks to children with handicaps of some sort that had the potential to make something of themselves.
Read Clarence Thomas's book "My Grandfather's Son"....if you haven't already. He could easily have fallen into the trap of some of those I mentioned above.
He didn't.
Is strength of character the difference?
Edit....WOW....if we pay attention to little things like interesting grub numbers, CONGRATS LB on this Politics for Pros thread! Grub. |
