During the last election, I was standing in line to vote and some young, entitled man with a loud, smarty pants attitude, said "No one's done a thing for me! I'm voting for who's gonna take care of me!" Okay, so spoiled rich boy almost got a spitball shot in his eye from about ten people in line that day. This type of thinking is rampant among the rich as well as the poor.

My 21 year old niece sits on the couch all day and twitters, chats, blogs, etc. and doesn't work. "I can't work because of the bad economy" is her justification. She gets free meds, free health care and complains about everything. She has been diagnosed with depression, so I'm assuming she'll ride that gravy train as long as possible. She certainly isn't too depressed to go out and party with her friends. I believe the depression would subside if she would just get busy. Even if it was scrubbing her parents home, ironing clothes, sewing, walking the neighbors dog, yard work, whatever. Anything. Just don't sit on your fanny all day!!

I believe we have far to many entitled adolescents and adults. They're a drain on our society and want to be taken care of the same way they were coddled and spoiled by mom and dad. They need to grow some hair on their chest and see what it's like to get out and do some hard work.

I'm not in a very good mood these days as far as our economy goes. I'm seeing too many hard working people get the brunt of what happens when you take care of too many who don't want to work.


Sorry for the rant.
