How can it be that working hard does not count? How can it be that trying to achieve is not good. How can socialism be acceptable in this country, or any form of it. Which is what our present administration is trying to do. Things are not equal. Just giving without merit produces apathy and laziness. Everyone needs to be productive, and not just in existing jobs which many government jobs are. Lots of waste. In ordinary businesses, if there is not a need for an employee, there would not be one, in government, there is. Much worse now. And it was bad in the late 80s when I had my foray in government. If you asked me when I was a kid if working for some governmental agency would have been a good thing, I would have said sure and spent many years there. Thank god that did not happen. Ranting I know.
