I've often said I believe the biggest problem with society is the rights generation we have created.

Great people aren't the results of being handed life on a silver plater but people that face adversity and have the ability to rise above it.

We pat ourselves on the back for creating programs like the no child left behind thinking we're giving the under privileged a chance in life, when in fact we're just creating more lazy Americans that feel its their right to ride on the backs of others. We've created a freeloader society.

I work hard every year trying to make the best for my family. Last year I paid the government over $7,000 and when I do my taxes they'll tell me I owe another $1,000 because Susan, setting in her government bought and paid house, had another kid this year or Jesus needs to send it to his nephew in Mexico.

I still rent because I can't get qualified to buy my own home even with a $10,000 down payment. I served my country during war time but my government tells me I have no benefits due to a technicality, yet my hard earned money goes to give housing to people too lazy to work. I've never bought a home yet I'm told I can't get help as a first time home owner(FHA).

The pride our grandparents got from rising from a poor family, through hard work not handouts, paying their way through school is replace by the "you own me" mentality of today. The pride today is not from hard work but knowing how to work the system.

I'm exercising the only right my $8,000 a year gets me. The right to complain.
