Do you guys believe we had a better country before or after WW11?.. Not for the few but for the many.
I can't remember WW11 but I can remember back a long way, and everyone in this country has a healthier and a easier life now, than they did 50 plus years ago. you can read about it, you can hear talk from older folks about a rough life, but I've lived through it, my younger years was very rough. I got a job at an early age making more money than most folks, and I have had a good life, but the hard time memories, will always be in my heart, and I think thats the reason, I can't stand seeing people having a hard time. I think people down on their luck, need a helping hand, and if the Government is the helping hand. so be it, in the long run of life,what the Government gives to a poor family, they will end up paying the Government back many times over, as the small children grow up, start working and paying taxes.

Agree... I think the "good ol days" is just a nostalgic trip for a lot of people, we live better now than we ever did... Even the super rich live better.
You're RIGHT in some cases. but instead of a hand up, we've created a society of LOSERS that will never work. NEVER, NOT ONE DAY.I can't remember WW11 but I can remember back a long way, and everyone in this country has a healthier and a easier life now, than they did 50 plus years ago. you can read about it, you can hear talk from older folks about a rough life, but I've lived through it, my younger years was very rough.

I can take you to Western Louisville, Western Indianapolis, South Chicago (If I had an army to protect me), and about 100 other big city INDOCTRINATED areas where those folks will never, EVER work, yet they will **** the tit of gubment until there is no tit left.
WAKE UP.

No doubt that's the difference in how we look at a general question or statement. I see the leeches, losers and abusers of the system and you see the actual good that can be done with helping legit people down on their luck. I don't want to see small children hungry or being born to crackheads but it happens regardless of how I feel.I can't remember WW11 but I can remember back a long way, and everyone in this country has a healthier and a easier life now, than they did 50 plus years ago. you can read about it, you can hear talk from older folks about a rough life, but I've lived through it, my younger years was very rough.

I have helped and continue to help when I see an opportunity that isn't wasted on an alcoholic or drug head. This is along the same line of questions I had for a leader on my small group at church one year....I was against tithing because of all the corruption in churches and I thought we were wasting our resources sending mission groups to third world countries while we had problems right here in Lexington, central Ky. and the entire state of Ky.. I was told you are giving to God not the church and its up to the church to be good stewards of Gods money....ok I can accept that but I will not just give money to people who abuse the system. It's sukks that my taxes are doing just that and of course some goodness as well. I just hate the way we as a country continue to build a large base of people who want assistance and knowing that a big portion of that is abuse.

Same here,was born in 45 but I believe that our country has been a better place for the masses the last 60 or 70 years, the best years may be behind us as some seem to think but I'm not ready to give up on us yet.
You might be right. I think when government offered a helping hand, and not a handout, we were MUCH better.
Now, we have multiple generations of TAKERS indoctrinated in the ways of "milking" the system. Until we change that mindset, you will have people like me HATING IT.
I don't mind helping folks, and have helped more than my share, but handouts are another thing.

Something else we can agree on, the difference between you and I seems to be whether or not we believe the good outweighs the bad and which end of the scale does the most damage to our budget. You have a great day sir.
I knew the moment I read that it couldn't have been something Donald Trump said. Way too well-spoken and intelligent.

I think our lives are significantly easier now (for many people), but the country is not as good as it once was. That's a direct reflection of its people and its government.
