Reply #12: I know the feeling. My inlaws - nice people, but Fox-watchers, started complaining

[unpossibles]

about having to spend their tax money on poor people (essentially), but my sister in law pointedout to them that they both grew up poor and have been on assistance more than once in their lives! Holy crap!

I look at it this way: if I can afford to eat and have a home and a car, how can I really complain about someone? Yes, I value hard work very much, but having worked a LOT of really crappy butt-busting jobs for almost no pay, I also respect the fact that hard work is not the only factor in success, and that I am really lucky.

Everyone wants to party, but no one wants to buy the beer.
