Don't forget who pays you

There is an epidemic going around. It's an epidemic of entitlement. We are in an era of hatred for those who have more than we do. I can understand jealousy. We all want more than we have; its human nature. It's what we do with that want that separates us. Many of us choose to live out the "American Dream" and at least strive for more. Then there are the others who feel that they are just entitled to to receive the fruits of someone else's labor. Why is it that people feel this way? How is it that people have the attitude of, "why should I"? How did we become a nation full of laziness? Where in our past did we go wrong? Where did this attitude start? How did a generation of parents go so wrong in teaching their children that they don't have to work hard for success; that it will just be bestowed upon them. Whoever these people are, I have a message for you; YOU FAILED!!!

So while the greedy and lazy masses are hating big corporations for having big money, where do they think the welfare money comes from? These heartless and faceless corporations employ hundreds, if not thousands of people. Hard working people feed their families with these wages. And, the money they pay in taxes contributes to welfare. But yeah, lets boycott and shut them down. That'll teach them to earn money.

Small business. We've heard that "they didn't build that". Apparently they are not responsible for their own success. So when individuals lived off practically nothing, worked late into the night, and sacrificed time with family to build their business from the ground up, lets not give them credit. Lets tax them some more because overpaid union workers paved the streets around their building! And lets not forget, these small business owners, who didn't build that, still pay taxes...that contribute to welfare.

So when you're waiving your pitchforks in the air, shouting to bring down the businesses, don't forget who pays you. If they stop working and generating income, welfare stops. You can't collect money when there is none. Lets try some appreciation for the people who contribute to you. Instead of constantly insulting them, lets just try to be appreciative of the help. And maybe one day we can ALL work, and then no one would be dependent upon the system.
