On the contrary I came from a wealthy family and chose to blow off school and goof off as a kid. And at the age of 18 reality hit. Ive had to pull 100-120hr work weeks for most of my early working career because of the piss poor decisions I've made earlier.
And only one time in my life have I ever asked for aid from our government. I had lost my job and was.living paycheck to paycheck. And had no savings. And was looking at foreclosure on my house. Ended up taking a $40,000 loss on the house as I sold it.
and I was promptly told "no" because I made to much money over the past three years prior.
So I've had to work my ass off for what I have (which isn't much). And thats what this country was founded on.
If I can work shifty hours, 30+hr shifts. And take responsibility fornmy decisions and live with the consequences. I believe so should everyone else.
I dont think its fair to those that worked in school or worked there tails off to have to pay for the lively hood of those that have done nothing and made poor decisions is simply what im saying. I dont mind for a little bit. Everyone falls on hard times. But to make it your life style is ridiculous.
And I for one have relatives doing this and I find it appalling. My cousin hasn't worked in 15yrs.
