There is a percentage of the population willing to work to get ahead yet another percentage who wants it all given to them. It is environmental. This will not change until the free checks are cut off.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04538729082092641451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142749039560757753.post-66589050509987702242008-10-10T16:39:00.000-07:002008-10-10T16:39:00.000-07:00It would be so easy to sit back and say " This isn...It would be so easy to sit back and say " This isn't my fault so why should they not pay my way now" but is this really something that will give you the self esteem and the feeling of self worth that you need to belive that you can recover from this and learn and make your life a success as that is what we all wish forkittenonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16013399846505865127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142749039560757753.post-46223104175892854592008-10-10T11:24:00.000-07:002008-10-10T11:24:00.000-07:00I couldnt agree with you more adrian.

I am sorry to hear about your losses including the potential loss of employment.<BR/><BR/>Certainly there are many affected by circumstances beyond their control. Those are not the ones I was referring to with this post. Societal views seems to promote that handouts are the way for all. This weakens us as a total entity in my view.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for you input.Dennis Hartinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07600547149404465673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142749039560757753.post-51339116111349436592008-10-10T10:27:00.000-07:002008-10-10T10:27:00.000-07:00I find one flaw in your arguement.

I agree that pain is a good teacher, however in this situation, the people who caused the pain are not necessarily the ones who are feeling it. <BR/><BR/>I'm extremely responsible with my personal finances and do all the "right" things like budgeting, saving, and investing responsibly. Yet through no fault of my own I am incurring huge losses in my investments and since I work at a financial institution, my very livelihood is in jeopardy along with hundreds of thousands of other responsible citizens. <BR/><BR/>We're not the ones driving the bus, but we are the ones suffering the pain. I'm not asking for a handout or a stimulus check, I just want a system where the rewards and the penalties are handed out in a more equitable manner.AdriansCrazyLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04463022076036044242noreply@blogger.com
