I don't believe in hard work in anymore that went out with the 1950's .These days lots of people are mooching off the government,so why not ? The story does not surprise me .This country is a pathetic joke of a nation.

You will NEVER get rich working for someone else. The "American Dream" only applies to those willing to take a chance and start their own business or invest in an idea of someone else .

Stan4,
" Jesus turn the other cheek then he was crucified... "

I don't belive in turn the other cheek, or take my shirts off and give to anyone who needed it.

You need to prove then I might give the person a dollar. I am not rich, I am working my ass off to meet my ends. You want me to give shirts. LOL wake up bro.
