Obama and "Joe the Plumber"

13374 says...

It's impossible to tell because Dems seem to glorify Obama and the government as if they are the saviors of the free world. My stepfather was just laid off after 20+ years from a company that shut its doors. However, we share the same ideology that work is always available to those who are willing and able. He is mowing yards and doing other odd jobs to make ends meet and it puts food on the table and keeps them in their house until he is able to find something a little more stable. People who choose not to be victims are not victims and I'm sick of our country shaping people to be exactly that. I believe that we should help the disabled, and that government assistance should be necessary, but when irresponsibility as a whole is enabled, the lines of those who were once willing to be responsible become blurred.

My siblings and I were raised by a single mom who worked overtime every week to support us. We would spend many evenings at her office, while she tried to get work done. And we pulled together and did it so I'm not a Republican snob who has or comes from money. Those who scrub floors to make ends meet are special people who typically pass on amazing work ethic. I don't want someone else supporting me if I lose my job. I want and need to support myself and my family, and I'm willing to do that because I choose not to be a victim. The more we require of the government, the more the government requires of us. Too many people have enslaved themselves to their governments, with dramatic results.

Don't Bully Someone If You Are Rubbish At Fighting.
