When I was getting ready to turn 16 I applied at McD's. The result? I soon learned how great it was to be able to buy a few things I wanted, on my own. Clothes and eventually a car. Then believe it or not I financed my own college education, working right there at good old McDonalds. (that was before federal aid) Working never hurt anybody, It is usually, on the contrary, a character building prerequisite to a self sufficient life style. On the other hand, if one starts off his life dodging work, sitting around killing zombies, on a diet of Mt Dew and twinkies, he will likely never rise up out of the ranks of those whose only identifying credential is their hard luck story and manage to accomplish nothing more than becoming a life long, cradle to grave, entitlement statistic. And as has been mentioned in another thread, the liberals will stay huddled in a circle singing Kum bah ya and crying, because of the plight of the poor.

This is the best post I think I have read on this site. There is not a damn thing wrong with working i know plenty of people that have made careers out of a first job and are doing well for themselves they arent pulling in six figure incomes but they are living in a house they own, and driving a car they own all because of the "evil" wal-mart. If you work hard it doesnt matter where you work you can find success. Unfortunately alot of people think a degree in liberal arts entitles them to a six figure income. Last time I checked the american dream is working for a living and owning a piece of land and a house.
