Work Ethic...

In a nation full of welfare and entitlement I wonder sometimes where is the work ethic?  Work ethic was one of those great things that built The United States of America into the nation that people wanted to move to for a better life.  Now with have a nation of just getting by and where is the next entitlement going to come from.

Many people in this nation have decided to take the easy way out and give up and allow the government to step in and give them welfare checks, food stamps, free cell phones with free texts, and many other government supported programs.  These programs are not for free my friends.  Someone has to pay for all of the government programs and as the work ethic in our nation disappears it will be harder and harder to find someone to take their earnings to fund this type of welfare state.

Who will have the work ethic still to keep the welfare rolls going?  Will people with work ethic let it slip away because a government full of regulations and taxation keep taking other people's hard earned money? A government that continues to punish people for having a good work ethic with more taxes is going to be counter productive as some people will simply not want to move up in companies or start businesses due to the amount of red tape, regulations, fees, and taxes.

The government that we have now is a government of oppression that is so difficult to deal with that people simply give up and fall into the welfare rolls and stay there and what happens next?  Welfare becomes a generational problem.  Children and grandchildren see how people can just live on the welfare system and don't have to have any work ethic and just get paid to live.  We are allowing future generations to fall into the welfare trap.

We are a nation that was built on great work ethic and if you didn't have work ethic you did not succeed.  If you didn't work then you did not eat and you could not provide for your family.  We need work ethic and sometimes you need to give someone the "kick in the butt" they need.  The kick in the butt our nation needs is to the welfare system that we have here and allow people to keep the money they earn.  Spend the money how they see fit because they earned it and with that money in the economy people can get jobs and start contributing to our nation instead of taking it with entitlements.

God Bless our great nation in our deepest time of need for better work ethic.
