That's where I'm bothered by the link that was posted and what I stated earlier in that this is the land of OPPORTUNITY, not the land where everything is just handed to you.

I was unlucky but I've still worked my ass off to make something of my life, against all odds.  My father was not lucky, but rather persistent in working for what he wanted and never letting up, and he made that happen.  Some may not be able to reach the same level as he has, but there is nothing holding people back from working their asses off and at least making it to the middle class.
Democrats worked on my case.  I was not opposed to having the best lawyers work on my case, regardless of political belief, which is another area that I think the Democrats are flawed in, in that they think any idea put forth by Republicans is greedy and just trying to step on the little guy, whereas Republicans want to strengthen the entire economy and nation in every class.

I read the link that was provided and it just strengthened my opinion, and that's that Democrats just blame Republicans for the problems of the nation and think that they're all just money-hungry rich pricks that are holding them down from getting ahead in life.

They want to close the wealth-gap in the country and strengthen the middle class, but you don't do that by just taxing the wealthy and giving it to the poor/lower class.  The wealthy are the ones that hire people and start new businesses and create jobs, so you give them incentives to do that and then the people who aren't as fortunate learn the trade or job, or even go to trade school or college, and it builds the middle class.

Too many times you hear Democrats, either poor people the news picks off the street or even politicians, just assuming that they should get their fair share without having to work for it.

Actually, I am currently a public "speaker" about my life and everything that happened because that's my passion.  At some point, I will need another job because I won't be able to have the same impact when I get a bit older, but I am on SSI because I need that to have enough money to survive.  My issue is people that use SSI just as a handout and don't use it to try and better their lives.

You do realize that there is one party that wants to cut SSI payments because EVERYONE uses them as a handout and one party that wants to preserve them because deadbeats like you might have a legitimate need for them, right? No, or course you don't. If you did you wouldn't take SSI, you would put your head down and work hard like your dad and climb into the middle class. What is stopping you? I'll tell you what. SSI. Those payments have undercut your will to work hard and make something of yourself. Get off the payments dude! The government is making you lazy and holding you back from your potential! It has happened to lots of victims of these big government programs like SSI. It is really sad to see it happen within a family. The government steals your father's hard earned money. They call it taxes, but it is theft! Then they give it to lazy people like you who won't work hard to earn what your dad earned! Make your dad and all of us proud Brad. Stop taking SSI. You don't need it. Nobody does.
