Where will it end?

What happened to working to earn a living? The Bible says For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. It is unfortunate that many in this country are what I call the "give me" crowd. I was listening to Sean Hannity on the radio yesterday and he had what he calls the "Man on the street Thursday." It's where they stop people on the streets of NY and interview them asking some very simple questions. Usually, I laugh at some of the interviewees because some of their answers are so comical. But yesterday, it was so bad it was depressing. For example, Sean asked one gentleman if he knew who was running for president and the man correctly answered who was running for president and who their respective running mates were (which many times, the people they stop don't even know who the current vice president is). Then, Sean asked him if he knew who he was voting for, and of course, the man responded with OBAMA. Sean then asked the man a series of questions to which he answered yes to all, and it was very sad. Most of the questions were about the government taking care of you. For example:

Do you think the government should provide health care for everyone? Do you think the government should take from the rich and give to the poor? Should the government give you a house if you can't afford one? Should the government provide you with a car so that you can get around? Should the government provide day care for your children? There were actually 2 "man on the street" men yesterday on Sean's show that answered yes to all of these questions. How sad. This is truly welfare on steriods!

I can't believe that people just think that the government should give them everything. Where do they think the money will come from for all these "programs"? Who is going to pay for this? Do they really want the government to be in charge of their health care? Do they want the government choosing their doctor and their care. Do you want the government in charge of taking care of your children? This is the same government that has bankrupted social security and has ruined the school system.

What ever happened to working to take care of your own family? I have worked for years and have paid dearly for health care so that I have the right to choose my doctor and choose my care - I don't want the government doing this for me. I don't want the Barack Obamas and Nancy Pelosis in this world deciding on my health care or any other part of my life. I especially don't want them in charge of my checkbook (which they seem bound and determined to do).

The liberal democrats have freely admitted that they want to raise your taxes. John McCain believes we must keep taxes low and to reward hard work. He believes that the government's wasteful spending should be eliminated. He believes that raising taxes is never a good idea. I believe as John McCain does - that's why I will be voting for him on November 4.

I have worked all my life for the little bit I have (and wouldn't have it any other way) - I just want everyone else to do the same.
