I didn't crawl through a pit of molten glass. I worked hard and have pride that I did. That's like asking why someone runs a marathon when they could have driven a car to the finish line. There's nothing wrong with ambition, hard work and not expecting hand outs. I think we could all benefit from a little better work ethic. Shouldn’t we all be able to tell our kids or grand kids how we walked up hill in the snow to school, both ways!
I don't believe in making people suffer, but PA should be a helping hand, not a ride in a carriage through the park. There are those (mentally or physically disabled) who will need help forever and that’s not what I’m referring to. I only have a problem with people who are not looking for a helping hand, but to take advantage of the system. It is really the PA system that is flawed, not those who get help from it when they really need it.
