Right to Pursue Happiness

Cars are a luxury. People could live and work near home if they needed too. People believe that luxuries have become a right. Having a car is not a right. You have the right to pursue happiness. To pursue, not provided through subsidized programs with no real goal. The lack of basic public transportation infrastructure is the real problem for those who cannot afford luxuries and need to venture out of urban sprawl to make a better living. Let spend cash for clunkers money on mass transit. That is a reasonable expectation in the 21 century. Poor running vehicles are not the problem. People who believe they need a vehicle and can’t afford the maintenance or the insurance are the problem. Take the bus or ride a bike. I have done it.

I don’t even want to get into how fat our underprivileged are. You can’t be fat and poor at the same time. Rice, beans and other bulk foods are cheap and available. McDonalds is cheap, but you need to have some sense of self control. Put down that happy meal. Start walking or riding a bike to work.

Our so called poor are the other issue. If you are broke and in need of food why do I still see big screens and WII in everybody’s hands at Best Buy or Wal-Mart. Our economy is based on how much junk is bought during Christmas. I watch people with public assistance cards purchase better food than I do at the market. We need to define poor and define stupid. Poverty is a horrible thing that we could all help with. It is easily identifiable. Stupidity is intolerable and is a result of a liberal school system that has no means of controlling the heathen spawn that people have created without thought. there is no discipline and no drive to better oneself. Complacency has ruined things. No one has real goals anymore. They are fine with things. Everything is awesome. Now pass the McNuggets.

In summation. You are not owed luxuries. Stop eating McDonalds. Stop humping. Read a book.
