THEY JUST EXTENDED UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS?!?!

The media tells us we're in a recession, possibly heading towards a depression.

I dispute this. I think we are at a crossroads. A crossroads where two different agendas are colliding.

Agenda A consists of hard working Americans who pay taxes, who work because that's what they were taught to do by their family and their nation, who are generally happy and fulfilled in their lives.

Agenda B consists of people who don't work, but not because they can't find a job. It's because they just don't want to work. They find it easier to claim unemployment. They find it easier to file for Medicaid. They find it easier to avoid minimum wage job offers. Government handouts are a dime a dozen these days, and these are the people who capitalize and work the fetid system.

The main issue in America is that we used to fully support Agenda A. People often refer to these times as "the good ole days". But not anymore. Americans now are growing up on these principles of laziness and entitlement. The worst part of all? These principles are now government funded though socialist policies. The government will support you if you are lazy, or poor, or feel entitled to "free money".

This money isn't free, though. Agenda A has to front the bill. Many people get this whole situation wrong and blame the rich people for trying to evade taxes. Quit being dumbasses, people. All of our money goes to the same place, and supports the same thing: laziness and mediocrity.

I am not a millionaire, nor do I even claim to have that goal. But I know one thing. If I made millions of dollars a year, because I worked to get to that point in society, why the fuck should I pay 30% or more of my income to support lazy people? I actually sympathize with the rich in this country.

Americans: You are NOT entitled to "the American Dream". You are NOT entitled to a typical American "standard of living", regardless of whether you have a job or not.

You are entitled to an equal opportunity of employment so that one day, if you work hard, you will have these things that we Americans covet.
