    We have become a nation of sloths. We would rather avoid work and accept a handout from the government rather than earn a honest day's wage.

There was a time when people were embarrassed to be on the dole, not any more. Hey, that's what the government is for --- to give us money when we need it. We have allowed our government to become...
