It is in American DNA, along with an almost arrogant love of liberty and freedom, the indwelt spirit to work.

I don't think it is a generalization to say that it is America, and more specifically, and under an acute microscope . . .

. . . the American workers' tax dollars that have time and time again bailed out every nation on the globe at one time or another.

We cherish land ownership and freedom above all else and have learned (been taught by our fathers), that the only way to have things is to work for them.

Work generates wealth and wealth in the possession of a moral entity does nothing but good things.

We have an increasingly growing population of males that either never learned to work or traded it off for government largess.

What kind of work mentality or morality can these males (intentionally avoiding "men"), pass on to their children ?

They can't.

What is tax money but a portion of one’s earnings, and what are earnings but work? And what is work? A person’s literal life blood.

That said, a society can only run so long on the efforts (work) of those who came before. Some people are contributing nothing. Others are barely contributing by shuffling around—creating efficiencies—the productive work of others. It’s the actual producers who drive the economy, and we are creating fewer and fewer of those.

How long can a society thrive when its women no longer produce the next generation of workers and its men would rather play video games then build civilization?
