The Welfare State!!

This morning I got to read another writer work and it inspired me to write about the views of to many people that I run into on the street and some friends that I have. I find it interesting to learn from listening from people how government is supposed to care for you if you fall down or just get plain rich robbing the tax payers to support your own needs. It seems that as a nation we have become used to big government caring for everything instead of the individual caring for themselves. The idea that government programs are supposed to support your everything from food to drug addictions and housing is absurd. The fact that everyone now is getting some kind of government no matter weather your rich or poor and have nothing I also think is crazy. What happened to the idea that work and creative ideas can make your life better and increase your standard of living which is dependent on in part money? I have to ask this question since everyone with a few exceptions are self proclaimed government leaching. I am not saying that some people don't need a occasional helping hand but we in America have created a bigger problem with programs like welfare, general public cash assistance,food stamps, foster care payments and the list goes on and on. What a shock it would be to have everyone in America work instead of getting Social Security Disability at age 25 or 35 or some other government entitlement and leaching off all the tax payers who work for a large portion of their lives. We in America have become lazy and say to ourselves that if I don't want to work that is OK since government will support me the rest of my life and with all the programs available I can live better than those who work for a living. I find it is appalling the attitude that the following generations have created by the baby boomer generation that raised kids to be slacker and the lower generations have become even more lazy beyond that. I know that many will disagree with me but I see the future of America as a more grim reminder that we are not schooling our kids to be independent minded and reach for their dreams. i just was talking to a guy today that said he is fifty years old and has two college degrees but can not find work doing anything. This I am finding is not unusual for people in my generation and younger to be on some kind of public aid which they seem to have no problem with taking from some government program. I see it differently having never had any government program or assistance in my life except for college education to better myself. This notion that welfare instead of work and if you work or not you should be sucking on some government gravy train program is just sheer madness. I will never forget my father saying to me that he lived through the great depression and my grand parents and him never took not even one red cent of government assistance in his lifetime and I should do the same thing too. My father had great wisdom in saying this because if you start believing that government will care for you then your life will amount to nothing and he is very right about this as I meet to many fellow Americans who have turned into government lazy leaches and their lives certainly reflect it with accomplishing nothing every day and week,year of their lives. It is a sad lament that we as a free people have given up so much of our sovereignty to our own lazy way and attitude of life that used to never exist a even a hundred years ago. In a mere hundred years we have come to a abyss in our great county were we no longer care for our own well being which is a sad thing for such a great people of creative innovation and wealth. This story is very seriously missed by the main stream media and it should be front page news but instead it is never even barely written about which is shocking to me. In closing I think we need to change our attitude and the way we as Americans live our lives by going back to a prosperity of work and limited government so that we all become better citizens of this great country called America.
