Feeling defensive? :)
Let's see, I've awaken before 6:00AM every week day for over 40 years to get up and go to work in order to support my family ... it's what grownups do. I've paid my bills, paid my taxes, raised a family and tried to live my with integrity.
So, nope, no defensiveness here ... just an unwillingness to abide the uninformed generalizations of a bunch whiners.
The slippery slope we're on was started by, and is still being reinforced by, people who simply don't believe individuals should take responsibility for their lives ... and that's not a club populated exclusively by people born between 1946 and 1964.
