The whole mind set of you reap what you sow and enjoying the fruits of your labor I was raised and I have lived by and done fairly good in my life. I feel this is my reward for being a productive member of society. Im actually one of those people that gets really uncomfortable when I am given a gift.

I understand that there are lazy people out there, and that is usually discouraged with "hey get your ARS up and do something" but I guess I have really never been around FULL time life style "TAKERS". Don't get me wrong, I have been around destitute people that need help, Haiti, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, But those people have not chosen that life, and indeed have absolutely zero opportunity of changing.

Im just not understanding why people in the greatest nation of the world with the most available to them to better their life ("poor" people in America have no clue what really being POOR is) have no ambition of making their life better and are 100% comfortable with relaying on someone else to provide for them.

I don't know...............

It has nothing to do with being a democrat or republican. I can show you areas of north Louisiana that describe everything you just wrote above. And they are staunch republicans.

Republican's on the life time free lunch express? RINO?

I have a brother in-law that says hes a Rep, but yet stands for everything the Dems propose. Rinos are the lowest form of life..........
I think he tells people hes a Republican only to save face, but hes all about trying to swindle people as well the government.

Needless to say the RINO brother in law is not welcome at my home.

Not all republicans are conservatives and not all democrats are liberals most republican politicians want to believe they are conservatives but a quick look at their voting history will tell you otherwise. They are all the same to me. They come in and tell you what you want to hear to get elected. And I really think some really want to change things but once they get in office they become complacent. I had big hopes for Bobby j in Louisiana. That didn't work out too well
