Point taken. But please feel free to explain your position. If I understand you, you feel that some people are too dumb to ever acquire marketable skills, therefore others should pay their way. And by others you mean not you because you're busy trying to pay your own way. My position is that, unless you've some type of handicap, you're perfectly capable of productive lucrative work. And the best way to motivate you to do that work is to say there're no handouts. If you want it, you've got to go get it. I back effective education, match programs, etc. But NO HANDOUTS. Welfare is a handout, minimum wage is a handout. I know, I used to earn it. I grew up on the other side of the tracks and so did my wife. Nobody in either of our immediate families knew (knows) the first thing about business, etc. We had to figure it all out ourselves. After we were done fighting the other problems. And I did get handouts from the gov't when I was a kid. You know what happened to them? I blew it on crap because I was stupid and had no idea how to leverage capital into a living. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:192435 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
