Not Taking Responsibility

We have become a nation of takers. There are more freeloaders than producers. We are by default trying to redistribute the wealth of producers. We should each, take responsibility for ourselves. Unless we start doing what each of us can do; we will simply bankrupt the entire culture financially and morally, and somebody will take over and tap the one last resource that we will have neglected. The final solution to our problems will be universal slave labor. This will ultimately be the result of our laziness. Of course most of us will be comfortable in our denial until the bitter end. At first the tiny ruling class will use a pretense of socialism to remedy our social ills. Is free universal health care the start of the decline of the economy? We cannot afford it. We cannot afford a lot of things that would be nice but the answer is not to rob everyone who is producing. I have a friend who is self-employed. She made a living but medical care was a hit or miss necessity. She eagerly supported Obama Care. Finally the day came when she complied with the mandatory requirement that everybody sign up. To her chagrin it now cost her $4800 a year and the insurance is unusable because her deductible was $5000 a year. She went from middle class, to homeless and a part time worker (producer) in part because could not afford her monthly premiums. Who can afford an extra $400 a month robbed from their personal budget? Her story is repeated millions times all over the United States.
