Think of where you were eight years ago and where you are now? Are you better off?

The Good Lord has blessed me with a wonderful wife and boy- so the answer is certainly yes.

I am as well...but I had to work for it.

From what I’m told, work wasn’t necessary before Bush took office, and now from what I’m told, starting today it isn’t anymore, either.

Better off until, when is it supposed to happen? Noon today? Then welcome to the People’s State of America.

Ready for government forced health care to go along with the federal government’s forced retirement program?

We all shall be equal at last! Equally poor.

I am, but these types of questions are irrelevant in my opinion and a tremendous sign of what’s wrong with American perceptions of government.

I most certainly shouldn’t be worse off because of the actions of the President, but it’s not his job, no matter who he is, to ensure my prosperity, either.

“From what I’m told, work wasn’t necessary before Bush took office, and now from what I’m told, starting today it isn’t anymore, either.”

Hah! Nobody told me that. I’ve had to work quite hard the last 8 years to improve my situation. In spite of 9/11, in spite of the spending like drunken sailors in D.C., in spite of the economic meltdown over the last few months, I’ve still managed to be better off.

Yes, I am, no question. I attribute that to God and His goodness, but I’m sure He imparted some wisdom to those who need it.

I just have a hard time figuring out who they are...

We will never be equally poor with the people who've refused to learn or do anything of value and have spent their entire lives existing on handouts from either government or charity.
