What happened to 1981 America?

Before the profanity and the calling it like I see it begins. Let me give you a chance now to leave this link, as you may not like what I have to say.

 Also if you decide to read on, in the words of Corey Taylor I am stating "If I offended you, you needed it." Ok so I little history about myself and why the following makes me angry. 

I am almost 33 years old now, my life is far from perfect. I don't make nearly the money I should be for a man of my age. Through it all though, I have carried with me the pride of knowing that if I need something, I will be working for it. Now do not mistake me as the heartless carnivorus imbecile that I will be making myself out to be, just take me as 1 angry American who cannot believe we sat by and let this shit happen. 

 So moving forward. Like every other red blooded American I work a steady job, 8-5 everyday, putting in my hours earning a check to live on. I do what I can to provide for myself, my wife, and my animals. Not living wealthy by any means but we get by as a happy couple who have rescued a few dogs. So I am driving home and finally get to my drive way and just before I have to pull in, I see it. A waist high sign that says "THIS FAMILY NEEDS HELP"....... 

 I will pause here so you could soak that in... 

  Here is the problem I have with this fuckin sign. My neighbors are low life bastards who are feeding off of our system. Now through the years I have had some unruly neighbors, meth heads, pot heads, lazy mother fuckers and what not. But these new neighbors kinda take the cake. Now before you decide to wave that finger at me, suck through your teeth and scream "Shame Shame". I will give you a little insight to the root of the problem here. I live on 12 acres that shares 1 other house on this lot. The folks that moved next door knock on my door every other day asking "beggin" for food supplies and random items. Salt, flour, rides to town. 

I have found out recently that there are 6 able bodied adults that live under that roof. Neither of them have jobs, are looking for jobs, and all live off of the system. So it angers me to the marrow in my fuckin bones that, my hard earned Tax dollars are paying for these people, to continue sucking off of the tit of the statue of liberty. I have watched them for about 4 months now, being lazy bastards who refuse to work. They would rather stay home and enjoy chemical induced realities, than get their ass up and earn a pay check.

 Now why the sign bothers me. 

My wife stays home to look after our house and animals. My house is the first house on this lot. The last thing I want, is people who are trying to be a good citizen, knock on my door offering help, that I do not need. I am a privite citizen who believes that once I make it home, I should not be bothered by external sources. I like to live a nice quiet, and peaceful existence. I do not need people driving confusing me with them, and looking at me in disgust. Now before you think that I am a horrible person for bad mouthing the needy, let me briefly explain myself, and personal feelings. I was raised under the premise, to never ask for help. If I was able bodied enough to work, than I should. I need to learn to provide for myself and work for everything I have/ will have. I do however believe that there are circumstances beyond our control, and we all need help sometimes. 

My issue is not with those people who really need it. My issue is with the lazy bastards, who have made a living for themselves living off the system, because they are to lazy to become something better. The adults living next door, have been helped by various charities and churches. There is a guy from a church who told me today, that he offered the next door neighbor a job, a free ride to drug rehab, and the means to live a normal lifestyle. The neighbor refused.... 

 So with all that, I sit here angry... 

 Angry that as an American, we allow lazy mother fuckers to suck our system dry. Angry that there is no check and balances that makes sure people are not abusing the system. 

Angry that the hard working middle class has to suffer day in and day out earning a check, making a living, and paying taxes so that these vile freeloaders can fill their baskets with handouts. 

It angers me everytime I go to the store, having to buy ramen noodles and getting stuck behind someone bitching because they have to pay $1.20 towards their entire basket full of steaks and shrimp. 

Angry that this country can not come together and defeat this system that allows defeatist to live happily straining everyone elses pockets. 

Angry, that Welfare allows 6 people to live in a better house than someone who is trying to earn a decent living. 

 You can hate me for saying what I have said. Thats fine, and I will not judge you one bit about it, but I am an American who still believs that the American dream is earned...Not handed out. 

 From the bottom of my heart, if you are slaving away day in and out, trying to better yourself, I thank you. 

Never let the beggers make you feel bad for doing something for yourself. I will be ripping this sign out tonight, and restoring any dignity that I have left.

                             

 How does someone in need, able to put this many lights on their house???
