I at least have the drive to earn money and pay for my self, but what if we could reform the deadbeats into someone more respectable? Someone who doesn´t sit home and just get wellfare? Into someone who at least gives something back into the community?
I believe that´s just the reason you went to those classes and gave them a talk they needed. What you taught them should be included into the regular education that everyone gets.
Many of them do not want to be changed because they know they can mooch off the system. It is when they are taken off the system and they finally realize that they are in some serious shit, then they will buckle up and get shit done IMO. As long as we continue to baby them, they won't change.
Those kids that I taught were the ones that want to better themselves, and as such, I have no reservations in helping them intellectually or financially. It's when I am forced to help random people where the majority of them are slackers that I get pissed off. Show me some initiative and I'm more than willing to help.

Like I stated earlier ITT, health care reform should be taken into consideration, but Obamacare is NOT how we should go about it.
