I really try not to post political views; on facebook, instagram, or even here on this blog, but I am feeling REALLY bothered, and since this is MY OWN private blog, I decided I can spout my views, if only for a second. I'm sorry if this offends you, that is not my intention. I'm not exactly eloquent, or totally informed on every little issue, this is just my opinion.
I was just reading an article about Mitt Romney and the video that was just "leaked." here it is if you don't know what I'm referring to.
As I read the comments about this video on Facebook and on KSL, It just gets me so worked up!! I don't know if he has his numbers exactly right, but the point is that people DO feel entitled to mooch off the government, and it REALLY bothers me! That is not why the government it in place, and that is what is KILLING America as we know it.
It really bothers me when I see acquaintances on Facebook, that I KNOW are getting government assistance and/or medical care, and they post new cars, new computers, new expensive shoes, new iPhones, etc.
WHY DO YOU HAVE THOSE THINGS IF YOU CAN'T EVEN BUY YOUR OWN GROCERIES?!?!?!
I just don't get it.
And you know who is paying for that brand new car? ME
And it ESPECIALLY bothers me when the person/people don't even have jobs, and for no reason other than they don't want to work! Danny worked the ENTIRE time he was in school, even working 40 hours a week and taking 15ish credits his final semester so I could stay home with Caydence. And now he is applying for the MBA program, which he will take while simultaneously working 50+ hours a week at his current job. DO NOT tell me it is too hard to work AND go to school! I am not saying I am a perfect example, but we drive what we can afford, and we buy our own food, and we just depend on ourselves to get along. And if for some reason we had a problem, we would FIRST go to our parents. I do not agree with the mentality that the government is there to provide for me.
Another point that is bothersome is that Mitt only cares for the wealthy, because he is wealthy. I am definitely not saying that Mitt is perfect, or has everything just right, but I think being sucessful is a GOOD thing! Do YOU want a president who is a failure in his personal/business life? I think his track record in turning around companies is EXACTLY what this country needs: a turnaround! I would rather have a successful president than one that supports gay marriage, won't release his school records, used drugs more than a few times, and much more.
End Rant.

Amen and amen. Glad to see you've joined the club :)
Oh man!!!! I'm glad you said something. Working for the state and with customers on finical assistance I know how badly they cheat the system and feel entitled. I know that those who go to school and earn an honest wage like you and I qualify for no programs!!! And we shouldn't. I stand by and respect those who provide for the selves and are stay at home moms free of the governments dollar. Any how I have wanted to say how badly people are entitled, what they make off the government and so much more but feel I can't cause of my job. So thanks for speaking up.
I completely agree! I'm tired of seeing people live off the government and even the church and don't even try to help themselves. We work hard to live the way we do. Self reliance people:)
Way to speak your mind!
