It crosses all age, color and ethnic boundaries. Gimme gimme gimme and have someone else pay for it. Adults who live with their parents on a long term basis. People who view taking care of their neighborhoods as the government’s responsibility. Trash on the ground and no one picking it up. Everyone waiting for someone else to make their lives better. And way too many people boiling over with resentment that they haven’t been handed the good life. The world not only owes them a living but owes them their dream life. I could go on and on about this topic. I better stop before I blow a gasket. It suffices to say that the Number 1 Reason I am a conservative is because I am sick of everyone sticking their hand out and expecting someone else to provide them the good life.
I even hear my dear mother, a unionized teacher, say that moving Social Security and cutting pensions should be causing riots, if this were Europe. I told her to look at Greece, the UK and Spain, they are rioting now...over the same things.
