Hey Grumpy,
Um, I disagree. ANyone who has the ability to work and sweat, and has the intelligence or vision to pick a direction can pull themselves up.
I think this goes to the root of the problem with generational welfare. People can lose site of what it is to work and have a job. They can lose the ability to look forward and plan ahead. I am not sure quite how to explain this, but I know this is a real problem.
Also, there are the situations where it is impossible for some people to work, lets say a widow with 5 kids. How does she do it? Daycare and otehr expenses make it impossible to do so. Yeah, that is kind of a rarity, but the point is some people cannot work.
I imagine I'll catch some flack on this, so fire away. kevlar and asbestos is on.
