I don't live in poverty. I learned a trade. I am very skilled..................Many don't...........and would rather sit on their fat butts...........if jobs dry up here I'll go to where the work is instead of crying like a baby.
All States have those who prefer to live in the nanny state..........I'm not one of them.

That IS what conservatives do....they go where the jobs are, before heading to the local welfare office. They have pride and
want to work and will do what it takes to find work. Lesser proud individuals gasp when you suggest that approach, saying
WHAT?!?!?!? Move away from friends and family???
True story. I have heard it more than once.
Yes Ma'am.............We still say Sir and Ma'am down here as well.
One day, going home from work, a lady had a blow out and went off the road with her kids...........I stopped, and 2 others stopped and went out to help her in the pouring rain.........she had her kids in there too.............No problem.......we replaced her tire and got her back on the road.......4 other vehicles stopped and asked if we needed help..........We said thanks and they moved on..............
Before the lady left, she stated......."I just moved here from Ohio..........and they would have just left us on the side of the road..........and said thanks".............
Our reply........WELCOME TO THE SOUTH MA'AM.............AND HAVE A GREAT DAY....................
True story..........
