My Thoughts On Freebies

My Thoughts On Freebies Miracle Man 4/12/2022 Many have used some Government safety net as a way of life, causing some to cultivate the attitude, better you pay, than me. For self respect, exhaust all internal means of self support, before reaching out to another seeking something free. It isn’t always our lack of, that has caused our dilemma, but in our choice of priorities that brings us harm. The easy road shouldn’t be a life, from the sweat of others, and the helping hand we seek, should be attached to our arm. Many need help, but too many take it because its free and easy, taking pride in knowing how to work the system. Tom

It is like a man with an armful of salmon and the bear is ready to take what he hasn’t fished for. Then the bear will come back again and again.

My question, Tom, is how do we stop this sort of thing? How do we put the kabash on people who are bleeding the system dry and keeping those who really need assistance from getting it? Have you been hearing about the COVID relief frauds? Boggles me mind!
