The dishonesty of our government is alarming. <BR/>I'm afraid it will be too late before people realize what is happening. So many are caught up in the celebrity worship of Obama and the idea that they have made history. Now that they think the government will take care of them, they have no incentive to be responsible. <BR/>I blame public education and wealth envy for this problem. People used to work hard for a living. When they made bad decisions, they asked for help and said thank you when they got it.<BR/>There are plenty of charities to help people who are truly needy. Why do these people think the taxpayer or the rich owe them something.<BR/>I personally know people who voted for Obama in the hopes of receiving some handout or other. Not one of them has done anything to change their lifestyle. I resent this because I make good decisions and sacrifices to achieve my goals. When I make mistakes, I take responsibility. Why should I pay someone else's way?machinepolitickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02869834497906422383noreply@blogger.com
