Please watch the first clip read and than watch the second clip
I heard this clip from Glenn Beck the other morning while I was at work and it bothered the heck out of me for some reason. How about you? Should the government provide a house for this woman and her son? I contend NO. If she gets a house with no payments why not you and I. That is the state that we would find ourselves in Socialism. Living much like the Soviets of the 20th century. I think that they should be left out on the street to better themselves. As Ben Franklin said "To drive a person out of poverty you have to make him uncomfortable in it..."
Here is the rest of the story......
I don't care much for the title of this video because Obama wasn't the one that helped her. It was the blond woman and her husband.
I believe in life all of us have trials wether it be joblessness, problem children, living in a car with your son ect. It happens to all of us. I believe that is a large part why we are here. To personally grow from the trials and helping others. If our help is a faceless, as the government is as it helps, how do we grow without gaining a sence of entitlement. We are leaching from the system and from others that pay into that system. This being why I believe in the individual as opposed to the collective. This woman that came forward to help after this woman came out with her problem is an angel. To be in the state of mind to offer so freely of her home is a testment to that. I think that because of this both women will grow. I hope that Herriett will continue to grow close to this woman and her husband and they can help her find a job. I think that they have a few strings that they can pull. If the help is offered and Herriett doesn't want to work I hope they kick her out of their house. She is just a free loader. I have a strong distaste for free loaders (like the single woman that had 8 kids and is on well fare)
As mad as I was when I first heard this story. I am on the opposite side now. It is an inspiration. When we share so freely like this woman the growth that we have as a person is greater. When you compare it to the experience of when you look at your paycheck and see how much the government has taken for medicad taxes. Which is better. Both is charitable and patriotic but which do we gain from more?

I think a lot of people feel more comfortable getting help from the government because it is faceless. I think it may just be easier to accept help from someone who you don't know than from your family or friends. I don't know why that is. Just the nature of the beast. But I agree that we all should do any and all else before asking for a complete handout. We do grow stonger when anything we do is by our persoanl choice and not by force. IT's like letting children or husbands, for that matter, figure something out for themsleves rather than telling them how or what to do. Hehe, Now you know my strategy. love ya
