We have 14 million unemployed, isn't that proof liberals have turned American into an entitlement culture?

I have had a job my entire adult life, from the time I was 17 I was working at my dad's car dealership, when I turned 35 he handed the business over to me and I have grown it to 3 dealerships. Since that time I have seen the country segment into to groups of people. The movers and the losers. Unfortunately the libs have catered to the losers and now we have 14 million lazy idiots who don't want to work. This is why we need to cut ALL services for the middle class, let them starve if they can't find a job.

Update:

Travers moron: I didn't get lucky, I was born with the gift to make things happen. It's all genetic. Do you think it's easy to work with you parents? I had to wash cars for a whole month before I was put in a management position.

    Hey genius, people are unemployed because there are no jobs. There is one job available for every FIVE people who want one. Yeah, who want one. Those people are not unemployed by choice.

    So your dad started a successful business and then handed it to you? You actually said HANDED it over to you, not "I worked really hard for it." You first worked when you were 17? Your first job was when you were a senior in high school? That is actually kind of pathetic. I'm sure MANY people your age had jobs when they were 14 or 15, without having Daddy to fall back on.

    And you talk about an entitlement culture? You were (by your own accord) handed your own business. You also realize the middle class probably represents a majority of your business? If they starve, you starve. I can't wait until Darwin's theory weeds your genetics out.

    So, what you're saying is that you were given a head start in your life and you can't understand how other people don't have it like you do. Okay, you sell cars and you have grown your family's business to include 3 more dealerships. Good for fcking you. Now, what would you do if the recession double dips and more people are put out of work through no acts of their own? How many people would buy your bullsht cars? Then you'll have to close those dealerships that don't perform don't you? I hope that there is another recession, just to see you go bankrupt. If I knew you, I'd laugh my a$$ off watching you send your wife to the welfare office while you get in line at the soup kitchen

    Right, there are enough job openings for all the unemployed. The only reason there is ever any unemployment is because people don't want to work.

    And the only reason there is hunger in the world is because people are too lazy to eat.

    And the only reason some people don't have access to a primary care physician is because they're too lazy to go to the doctor.

    ***

    "I had to wash cars for a whole month before I was put in a management position".

    Oh my God, a whole month before you got handed a job in management by your Daddy?

    "I didn't get lucky, I was born with the gift to make things happen".

    And that was because of hard work and planning on your part?

    You represent all that is wrong with conservatives; lack of compassion for those less fortunate than you.

    Starred so that others might see your brand of conservative thought on display.

    WOW you are so amazing. I bet all of those unemployed people sold the businesses their parents miracled them for crack money.

    The nerve of some 35 year old who worked at the family business his entire life lecturing the unemployed is just un-fracking-believable. You've got to be a troll. No 35 year old person can really be this dense.

    *GASP* AN ENTIRE MONTH!! But, really, some of the 14 million you mentioned may be lazy, but the rest are trying to get jobs and such, and that is the only reason they "cater" to them. Because they have not had the good fortune to be born into a family like yours, with an established business, is no reason to call them lazy.

    I wish I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth too. Then I could climb on to my pedestal and say, "If your daddies didn't give you everything you have, I want you to starve!". Then continue with something like, "I didn't get lucky, I worked hard to get my way into the car business ... AT 17!!! It had nothing to do with my daddy!!!" And finish by saying something like, "Car dealers are the most honest of the honest, so when I say I worked my way to the top just like anyone else, you can totally believe me!!!"

    One job, you must have a real sense of the working world don't you?

    Source(s): BTW, I am a conservative ... you are just a spoiled rotten punk that give us a bad name if you are not a troll.

    Blame the liberals for all your problems...God where have you been and how did you get there? Surely there is something on the market you can take for that...Over the counter.
