Our country was based on the idea that anyone could make something of themselves if they were willing to work hard. My Grandparents came here without any skills but worked hard to build a better life for their children. My parents' generation were also taught to take care of themselves. Families helped each other and my parents quit school to help their families during the depression. I was taught if I worked hard I could make something of myself.
Something seriously wrong is happening in America when people who are capable of working even if it is in a lower paying job would rather live on food stamps. I was disgusted watching a FOX News special to see healthy, capable citizens taking food stamps. What has happened to our great country; the American dream is now living off the government!
It is especially disgusting to hear our President and his administration encourage people who once had pride and self respect to get on food stamps! By the time these people realize what has happened, it will be too late. They will be living a dead end life dependent on and controlled completely by the government. It is not surprising that there is food stamp trafficking. It is another way for these bums to steal more money from you and me, the tax payers, while the Democrats continue to try to get us to pay even more in taxes!
