[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 886267, member: 1944"] So many things wrong with this statement. I was a single Mommy. I worked at Kmart, and I was a waitress. And I worked two, and sometimes 3 jobs while deciding which one to keep. I would vote for Herman Cain in a heartbeat. I quit school in 9th grade and I saw what my future would be. How could I have respect for myself, or support my children, without an education? It looked dismal. I didnt want to wait for a check every month, or raise my children like that. So I got off my butt, and founmd a job wherever they would hire me. Yes I wanted to make more money, but I had no reason for anyone to hire me, I had nothing to sell. You cant expect 10 dollars an hour if you are not qualified. But in this country, I believe, no matter what mistakes you made, you can turn it into a positive thing. So yes I am critical of those who dont try, because even in this down market, there are jobs. People are choosing to live off the public dole because it is easier. That is when it comes down to self respect. yes things are bad and there are good people who cannot find jobs, but while unemployment is at 9% 91 percent of the people who want to work, are working. Ive always found its easier to find a job, when you have a job. And it may not be the ideal job, but it keeps you on your toes, looking for something else, and keeping your determination in tact.
