[Repeal The 17th]

Millions of Americans aren’t working. Why?
“... NOT working and collecting welfare checks ...”
“... subsidizing sloth ...”
-
Well, Mrs. Repeal has been unemployed for 3 years, now.
She does not collect welfare checks, and no, she is not a sloth.
There are very few jobs out there for a 60+ year old.

Before all that,
we lived a nice life, contributed to savings, and had plans for retirement.
Now,
we have cut back on everything, are living off our savings, and have no plans for retirement.

There are many, many more people that I know of that are in the same boat.
So, I’m thinking you might want to direct your comments a little differently.

If you are working in this economy, consider yourself blessed.

If you are working in this economy, consider yourself blessed.

People who criticize the unemployed and call them lazy need to walk a mile in their shoes in this economy. I do not wish ill on people, but I do hope that people who have such a disdain for the unemployed will soon become unemployed themselves. I have been out of work for 8 months and have been on 9 interviews. Luckily, I have a family support system to fall back on an savings to put to use. Accordingly, I am going back for my MBA.....but not everyone has this as an option. Best of luck.
