People come here as immigrants not knowing the language.
Next thing you know, they have a job. And next after that, they own a business.

Our own people have forgotten this.

They look at me like I’m speaking another language... ‘work’ What is that?

...last year I had an issue with my feet (still do) which made it difficult for me to mow my sizeable lawn without great discomfort...I finally got hold of a kid willing to do it...he did a good job, right up until the last five minutes of his last day, when he ran the mower over a pipe in the lawn...point being, kids used to fight each other to find such work, and I had to report to my father how much money I made each week mowing lawns in the summer and shoveling, when snowfalls would cancel school...not so much anymore, I guess...

True, we get to hear how we need illegal aliens to do jobs Americans won’t do How about the US say if you want to get some free shit, you have to do something that needs done to pull your weight? Geesh, how about some of these welfare schlubs do that work for a living?

Why are they allowed to sit on their butts and suck off people who get up every day and go out and work?

Makes too much sense. Must be disregarded at all costs.

Poverty is simply a culmination of bad decisions you have made in your lifetime; it simply is a (result of) choice(s).

Show me a poor and I will show you a lazy bum who deserved it.

“Tell that to the widows and orphans and the severely ill.”

My heart bleeds for widows, orphans, children, women, and minorities. Despite my hemic cardiac situation, the widows can get to work (with life insurance, hello?), orphans can be adopted, and the severely ill could have prepared better.

It is called life and if you do not prepare for it, well, sucks to be you.

Lazy to anticipate, prepare, plan, and execute. Yep, lazy alright.
