Tolerating losers is about over in the new world USA

Tolerating losers is about over in the new world USA

       I am always astonished when some politician stakes out some position that he or she wants to help the "poor".  That seems to be a common position for those in the more liberal/progressive bent who have done OK in life. And I don't recall hearing much about it during any election cycle.  Rather it seems to come out more often during the governing cycle.

            The days of the robber barons and such are also long gone.

            Most economic things have changed in the last century in the USA, and there are very few poor in the USA through no fault of their own, or so I believe. Most of the USA poor are more traditionally poor (really government poor) these days for all the usual reasons. And they have no right to take the rest of us down to their economic degradation and even death. This includes any politician who claims to represent them in his or her vision.  And any leader who adopts this position is worthy of replacement, in my opinion.

            Now in fairness, we in the USA for decades now have had government policies and practices that broke up Families, and dumbed down our population. So that is a factor, too.

            After all and in the end, I have things I will still fight for. And I also have a Family and children I want to succeed on their own, as best they can and work for. I am not inclined to work for and pay my taxes to losers and politicians who claim to represent these losers as a priority, either.

            Losers seldom vote, by the way. And when they do, things like economic collapse in Detroit usually happen eventually. There is no free lunch. And I use to vacation there, by the way.

            And the poor losers continue to breed, and the poor are just as likely to be males as females these days. And like most, I too wish to help their children. But, my priority is to help all young people the best I can; and then I also expect them to lift themselves up by their own boot straps as part of the effort,  too. And along the way, some children will enter poverty, also. So be it. Our new world USA has a long history of both. The successes, which are many and the majority, make me proud to be an American.

            And believe me, I have done enough charity to be solid in my convictions.

            Like John F. Kennedy said in his inaugural speech, do for your country before you do for yourself. We all have a common present and future when heeding these words. Losers who will not work should pay attention, I think. Said another way, losers who will not move or change their standards for work will probably just die off early, and probably will if times should get hard. Drug and alcohol induced car crashes are one usual example where I live.
