Feed Me!

Legislation should encourage people to take care of themselves rather than provide so much support that personal responsibility becomes optional. I am fine with government giving people the opportunity for success, but whether or not that success is attained should be up to the individual. The ability to receive a higher education, purchase a home, or own a business are core facets of the American Dream that should be available to every person who is willing to work for it ! While Uncle Sam may give you the spoon, you have to feed yourself. Unfortunately our economy is in such a mess today because lately the government has been doing more feeding than spooning.
