(397 posts)This nation was not built on the laziness of the sybaritic rich. It was built on hard work, determination and perseverance. If you think these qualities are cliched then look at what a departure from that value system has gotten us. A parasite class of the idle wealthy who slouch in their ivory towers sucking the blood out of America while the TRUE America-her people- suffer under their parasitic infestation. What we need in my opinion is MORE and STRONGER support for the working man and woman in this country. A good place to start would be to end outsourcing.
