I sympathize! Thinking of yourself and what you can get is human nature, unassisted by grace. Unfortunately, the government at all levels encourages it. A lot of people don’t get the idea of being a contributor to a group project (so to speak) as opposed to being a recipient of services that *someone* has paid for, but not you.
Consider all the people planning to vote for Bernie Sanders!
You’re right; they did it twice with Obama as well. While NJ is facing tough times economically, it is nice to see the areas where residents contribute little to nothing suffering the most. They complain about lack of police or snow removal, but don’t want to kick in for either.
They sacrifice their own young to have a life of idle leisure...
