It's becoming apparent to me that so many who turn to Socialism/Communism are those who can't or won't keep a job. Most folks get a job and try to work their way up to a better paying job, etc.

The dropout mentality seems to foster dissatisfaction with our country and capitalism.
I think this is what we have seen with this past election.
I have failed-it’s not my fault- I can blame all those rich people for my shortcomings.
Okay, that's my sermon for today.

I know a fellow nearing 40 who will only do one kind of job, then complains that the Bush economy keeps him from making more than $12/hr. He has specific demands on a job. He doesn't want to talk to people, just type into a computer. Then, complains that he has to wear nice clothes, can't take off his shoes, listen to music, play on the Internet, or make personal calls. I once asked why he was a Communist. He scoffed at the idea that he was. Still thinks he's not.
