i can appreciate that...but do you know how hard it is to be a college grad working any job for min wage...while you're still looking for a better job? it's STAGNATING, my friend. i don't have time to travel...or do what I WANT TO DO.
Use sound like a prima donna; that expects just to have the world handed to them on a silver platter. Many of us have had to start at the bottom and work our way up even after years of education and massive debt. It's tough that way but in the long-run it can make you a better person because you understand and can sympathize with the low man on the totem pole. Between school and work I went about 8 years before I had my first vacation.
The amount of scholarships and loans out there, especially for minorities, are more than sufficient so that anyone who wants to go, who will work at it and study,
can go to college and those who will develop their minds can earn a degree and be qulified to get the type of job they want.
In this country, anyone who stays in school or gets GED can go to college and get a degree. This young man didn't even use his and still built a home for himself out of nothing.
Not only that, there are plenty of alternative schools out there that offer to provide trade jobs like automotive, electrician, etc. Last I heard, these jobs pay pretty well.
There's so much opportunity out there, you have to work hard at it. My grandfather did, my dad did and so did I.
I was forced to read "Nickle and Dimed" as part of a Sociology classed and I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought it was saturated with "Victim Consciousness" and whining!
Socialism is the DEATH of free enterprise because if you have to pay 50% of what you make as a Business owner in tax to pay for crackheads and social assistance, you're gonna move Elsewhere. NO Jobs = No Money which means No Taxes collected and Financial DOOM! funny how Socialists never mention that.
this IS a nation of whiners. getting into debt, not allowing children to play 'rough', needing electronic maps and other devices, just to live, can't live without cell phones, spending thousands on stupid things every month and complaining about gas prices and blaming the monkey in the white house. get off the phone, stay off the internet(oops, i'm on), drop the starbucks, slow down on the road, spend time with your family, stay away from the nightclubs, and start working hard, morons!

Glen Beck used the phrase "Nation of Whiners" months ago.
And now, since Phil Graham has said it...it's big News?

"Death of the American Dream". How true. Socialism (having to take care of others before ourselves) destroyed the American work ethic.
