At one of the town hall meetings that I attended, and older man (around 70), stood up after other seniors had discussed prescription drugs, and said, "I don't think I should be entitled to anything. After all, they already pay enough money to the government. I don't think that's fair. I don't think that they should have to pay for me". That's basically the gist of what he said.

"I don't think I should be entitled to anything. After all, they already pay enough money to the government. I don't think that's fair. I don't think that they should have to pay for me".

After learning about welfare in school and knowing my Grandfather was poor, I asked my Dad if they had gone on welfare?

He said no, his dad was too proud.

At the time I thought it was kind of dumb. Years later I understood. This nation need more proud people.
