"What a load. Do you think everyone of those 500 was capable of getting a college degree. Consider yourself blessed. I know that where I work less than 50% could get a degree. In anything. Some are functionally illiterate and many have a hard time even speaking English. They are factory workers, a lot of good people, but they are not business owner material. I feel bad saying that but it's the truth."

And, you're saying that because people have made these prior choices in life that education isn't important (obviously, if they are illiterate) and that their survival in life isn't their responsibility...... then you're saying it becomes MY responsibility as a compassionate, understanding person to support these people who live off the government dole and game the system for everything it's worth? No thanks.

I grew up in inner-city Detroit. I know the attitude, the mentality and the pervasive psychology of the govt leaches. I have NO sympathy for those who REFUSE to help themselves.

What a sense of superiortity you have. I didn't say they made the choice to be illiterate or uneducated. They just are. Also, a lot of them are hispanics from another country.

then you're saying it becomes MY responsibility as a compassionate, understanding person to support these people who live off the government dole and game the system for everything it's worth?

They are not living off the dole. They are working. But, if you take their jobs away in a show of super-capitalism they will be living off the dole. Just so you could get a few more cents on your dividend check.
