That's all good in theory. But the hardest working people in America are broke as ****.
Hard work does not translate into financial success.
The guy who carries the shingles to the top of the roof gets paid the least, while the guy who does no more than to talk gets paid the most.
Ever heard the term "It takes money to make money"?
Those who "have" simply squeeze money from those who "have not". Then they label those same "have nots" as lazy.
And they scream like banshees if the government tries to regulate them in any way. But let the free market speak up against them, in the form of a labor union, and watch them run begging for government regulation.
And, because they can afford to buy the law, they get it.
Yet they still move the jobs overseas so they can pay less for the labor that they NEED.
Then they have the nerve to call the guy they put out of work lazy.
And do I think that the government should be helping people who are in need? Well... "By the people, FOR THE PEOPLE" Yes I do.
The vast majority of those who are "in need" don't want a handout. They want to be able to work for their needs.
But with fewer jobs that can meet those needs than there are people with those needs, there is a guarantee on millions of Americans being unable to make a living.
