- Why is it so hard for people to believe that the US is in
- pretty good shape? People that work hard and develop their skills
- have jobs, keep their jobs, and can find new jobs when they need to.
- Everyone I know that is having a hard time don't want to make the
- effort to find a better job or work at educating themselves. I've
- seen how some people look for jobs, and it seems they expect to be
- given employment simply by showing up to fill out an application. In
- almost all cases, it is not a matter of no opportunity or oppression
- by the rich, but an attitude that a good lifestyle is earned simply by
- existing rather than working.
