This says it all



This sums up for me the biggest problem in the United States today - PEOPLE and the GIMME attitude.

In fifty years of being in the workforce, I collected one, count 'em - one - week of unemployment benefits. No medical bennies. No free eyeglasses. No free dental work. No grants. No scholarships. No welfare.

I have a mortgage free house. I have a 100% paid for car in top running condition. I have a retirement fund. I have an investment fund. I pay cash for everything.

How did I manage to accomplish these things?  I WORKED a JOB, and not the system.

Don't pat me on the back. I didn't do one damn thing special. I did what every citizen of the United States should do.

I took care of myself. I didn't expect someone else or the government to do it for me.

And I'm a better person for it.
