PoFisher, Sir, I salute you, Your words are powerful and inspirational. We have quietly stayed out of it for so long over the fear that someone would acuse of us of being “racist” or homofobe or heartless or any other word used to terminate a resonable and logical train of thought. We need to stop using such soft language with these people. Welfare reciepients are where they are because of thier own poor choices. If someone drops out of a public school paid for by the public. Because of grades, drugs, behavior ect , it was thier choice. Gets pregnant cant afford the hospital bill, or rent or lights or food it was thier choices. Why does the 70% of Americans who followed the rules and laws, that did thier homework in school, that worked an sacrificed and did without to pay thier own bills, have to pay for the ones that didnt. Sure I feal bad when I see these people in need. We had the same school, the same teachers, the same oportunities, we just made diffrent choices. My Mother had a saying that her father told her, and she passed it down to me.
“If you are happy it’s your fault, you did all of the things in order to make yourself happy. If you are miserable its your fault too. You are responsible for your own happiness and your own misery”
Not the Government or your Community
