People used to have too much pride to take welfare, unless a real hardship hit them.
Unfortunately, today, many take pride in fleecing the system instead, and it does not seem to be improving.
I fear my Grandchildren will not have it as good as we did, the WW II generation was absolutely the greatest!
Half of our HS is non English speaking, and I don't live near any border or seaport. I fear we will have to reach the straw that broke the Camel's back before most people wake up to the fact that you can not have a Country w/o borders.
The irony is that 30 years ago, when I was between marriages, I went out with a Social Worker from Westchester, and she teased me about living in a place that had no minorities!
Things can change very fast!
