Its time to remove the blinders

As parents we want more for our children than we had ourselves, we also lead by example. In order for our children to attain success we must live each day not only as a parent but as a teacher. Teaching does not start and end in the school, teaching our children at home is a never ending process.
As a grown adult I enjoy living in a nice comfortable home, I enjoy getting a new car to drive every couple of years, and I enjoy the other fruits that are produced from my labor such as vacations to fun places, big screen T.V.’s to watch and play games on, and pretty things to look at within my home. All of those things are the results of work ethic, an ethic my own parents instilled into me at a young age.
For just one moment think of what life would be like if those values were not instilled into us. There is some very interesting reading on the internet about the subject, as well as reading within our bible that talks of non-working people. In Ephesians it says that if a man does not work, nor will he eat. That may have been true in the biblical days, but in today’s society we have a system in place to award those who do not work, it is in the form of welfare, SSDI checks being the latest trend in enabling otherwise able bodied persons to set poor examples for our youth who are our future.
In a study performed on non working men some not so surprising results were concluded. Men who have children and do not work, especially male gendered children are actually damaging to our future. Men by default have been the harder working of the two genders as of years past. The study concluded that male children, whose male parent counterpart did not work, actually had lifelong disabling affects on the male children. The boys who are raised to see the father figure not working will not develop the skills or the desire to carry him further in life in order to give a better life to his own children when he has children of his own. So what is non working fathers actually doing to our children of today? The answer will take us back to the SSDI payments, it is called oppression.
SSDI payments are for people who are disabled, the sad reality is that families are lining up at the doctors offices and the Social Security offices to try and get on one of these checks. It becomes a game so that the entire family is falling victim to their own selfish game and oppressing themselves. The more people in the family that can get on a SSDI check, the more money rolls in and the less anyone in the family has to work, leaving them time to relax and watch TV, play video games, and well… Not Work.
The part the self oppressing families do not understand is that the money that comes in the mailbox at the start of each month, and the cost involved in seeing doctors along with the cost of the medications that are prescribed do cost money. Now here is why I have the right to talk about this subject, you see I pay TAXES. Anyone who works knows that somewhere in the range of 35% of their gross earnings are taken each week for TAXES. Where does the TAX money go? Right into the pockets of those who oppress themselves. As a tax payer it is disgusting to know that you worked your ass off all week long to give up 35% of your gross pay while that money goes into the pocket of someone who CAN work but will NOT work, who sat on his ass all week playing some game station, sleeping till he wakes because he is not against a clock, and who does not do a single thing all week that could be considered productive. So again I have the right to talk about the subject because these people are living off my money and the money of other people who work and pay taxes as well. The check may be written by the government, however without the money paid in by tax payers, it would not be there, not would the healthcare and medication.
Back to the example that living off government payments sets. Getting a check in the mailbox every month would be a delight to anyone. But that is not what the system was set up for. The welfare system was put into place to help out families who fell below the averages to meet the minimum living expenses. It was not set into place to depend on for a living. SSDI was set into place to assist those who are NOT ABLE to work. The problem is this, families get used to the money landing in the mailbox month after month, and it just becomes EASY to sit back and count the days until the next one comes in. The adults taking in the money find ways to keep it coming in. But what happens when the kids get older and they want to move out on their own? All of a sudden the person who has lived off the kids checks for years has no income and has no work history. You see, by living off the system you are not only holding yourself back but you are holding the kids back too, SSDI is NOT a retirement plan, it is a temporary mirage.
Another sad thing is that a lot of the people who sitting around collecting payments CAN work. They just choose not to. There is a certain dad, who makes his entire living this way. He draws the check month after month, and child support, and the medical benefits, he then sits at home and sometimes his buddies come over, sometimes he goes out to bars, when the school calls and needs to have a meeting about the children he sends his mommy to do it for him, and other than that he sleep, eats and does not work. His excuse… The children’s doctor told him not to work. Well you see, here is the problem with that, the kids are in school all day, he is not the one who goes to the school when there is a problem, he does not keep house, and he does not work. WHY? There really is no excuse. People with children work all the time, and if his mommy is taking care of his bidding for him, then what excuse doe he have NOT TO WORK?
If you are reading this and you know someone like this, make calls lots of them, write letters, TURN THE LAZY PEOPLE IN. GET THEIR CHECKS CUT OFF. If you have custody of your children and you need a little help, that is what the system if for, it is not to make your living off of because you are too damn lazy to work.
