OPINION: Being Poor Does Not Entitle You to Anything

I have spent most of my entire life “poor,” compared to the standards of many, and certainly in comparison to Barack Obama, Jesse Jackson and Nancy Pelosi – each of whom are worth millions (Sure, Romney can’t “relate” to me because he’s worth hundreds of millions of dollars, but to be honest, I can’t recall a time when a guy worth +$9 million [Obama] has ever been able to relate to me either)?

Over the past half century a disturbing transformation has occurred in America – we’ve gone from a nation that once valued hard work to a nation that now despises the very fruits of labor – more money available for withdrawal from one’s personal bank account.  We’re living in a society where being rich is  frowned upon and something to ashamed of.  That’s pure craziness – it is my desire to one day have more than I do today and I’m not ashamed of this; it’s only natural.

Limosine liberals just want to control the people because they feel we are to stupid to make the right decisions so they set up programs to give free stuff out and that continues to keep them in power and give them control over us.

That is a bunch of bull. Americans will work and want to. EMPLOYERS would rather hire illegals because they are CHEAPER, and businesses can make more PROFIT.

Don't believe everything you are spoon fed.
