Those who don’t get something free from the government, or taxpayers, really have earned something more valuable then a chunk of change meant to bring them back to some kind of semblance of life before the qualifying event, disaster, financial crisis, decades of auto company stupidity, etc. They have earned independence, the idea that they don’t need others to sustain themselves and their families…They can, through their own ideas, hard work, luck, whatever it takes, survive and sustain.

It isn’t as much fun, and it sure isn’t as easy, but it’s definitely better in our books.
