2. For people getting disability: I watch people every day that are in a wheelchair, go to work. There is a local business in my area that employ the blind. We once had them help counting at inventory....they were more accurate than the employees that had their eyesight!!!! So let's take the disabled, yes even the "obese" ones and give them a position. If you can cart your lazy butt to Walmart, you can cart your butt to work. There are people that are truly disabled. That is not who I am addressing. I am however addressing the deadbeat mooches, that hunt, fish, play sports, etc and claim disability. You know who you are!

3. For taxes: FLAT TAX!!! Very simple it's a magic word called proportional. EVERYONEpays the same percent. Read the good book. It says 10% of what you make goes to the Lord. Not 12% for some and 4% for others. Taxes should be the same way.

4. For Government Spending: make the government a business and ran like a business. We all know if we ran our business like the government, we would have went broke within the first year!

The chances of all of this happening.....did you ever hear that snowball survival story??

Summary:
Deadbeats get off your can and pull your weight. Until then you are nothing more than a mooch.

Government officials, start treating it like your own business, or risk loosing your pay and LIFELONG benefits!

Unemployed, start being a part of the solution instead of all of the problem. You too are a mooch, unless you are making every attempt to get work.

Life is not always a cake walk. Start manning up and be Americans instead a bunch of mooches!!!!

My 2 cents
While I mostly agree here I see a potential problem with item # 1 & 4.

#1 IMO While I do agree that there are many folks that are slackers and moochers looking for a free hand out of any kind even though they are capable of contributing to society, "I got them 2nd and 3rd generation on the other side of my family" I have personally witnessed 1st hand the psychological toll it takes on someone who has worked hard all their life, moved up the corporate chain, became the household bread winner only to loose their job due to the corporation cutting back so those higher up can keep their bling bling. This particular individual I'm thinking of did acquire another similar type job (Medical field) a year and a half later only to have their 40hr a week job cut in hrs down to we will call you when we need you status. Yes this individual does receive unemployment and does apply to at least 5 job every day in a 60 mile radius of their residence. I have seen the list.
So based on these statistics, this individual has applied for approximately 1300 jobs in the last year alone. From what I understand their primary problem with not acquiring a good job or a frekin job of any kind in their field is that they are not Bi-lingual.
So from what I understand here is now you have to speak Spanish fluently and English is secondary. WTF is wrong with this picture.
When did it become mandatory to speak Spanish as a primary national language here in the US?


#4 If the Govt was ran like a Business or in its case a Corporation, the problem I see is the "Leaders" Pres, Congress, Senate, House, ext...would give themselves Enormously HUGE Bonus's at the end of each year and there would no longer be any form of elections. We the people would no longer have a say in our government.
In addition, if they can not balance their budget, lol! They will piss on us honest hard working back breaking tax paying little folk some more.

Just venting my thoughts a bit.
