[Kickass Conservative]

My Father told me when I was a whining 13 Year Old who had to work at his Business in order to earn an Allowance, “nobody owes you a living, so shut up and get back to work”.

That little bit of advice has been my Life’s truth for the past 50 years, and counting.

My Mother always said, “you help people who can’t help themselves, not people who won’t help themselves”.

That is also something I have always carried with me, but most Liberals would be offended by that statement nowadays.

I see that our parents had much in common, when it came to money. :-)

I raised my progeny the same way and now, it's the next generation, of my family, being raised that way too.

Too bad that this is no longer the "norm".
