I don't think its accurate at all. Which senator or congress-person said/implied this? I've never heard for anyone saying that people that have paid a lifetime of taxes, are taking advantage of everyone else, just because they receive Social Security and Medicare benefits. I have heard of people complaining about those that misuse the system, but certainly never about those that have paid a "lifetime of taxes."

What are you talking about? Which "force that run this country" shames anyone that is poor?

So, you got some tremendous help at a very key point and you were able to use that momentum to continue doing well for yourself. Now, imagine you are so poor that you need some help to move up in the world, but that help never arrives. How long would you have done that shit job if the truck driver didn't point you somewhere better. Or, how about if you weren't able to scrape up anything after that one month of rent and were thrown out on the street? I'm not saying you were the luckiest guy on the planet to get that help. Most people could count on some good fortune. But someone considerably more unfortunate than you may not have had that experience, or perhaps they had shitty situations happen to them, at a point when they were most vulnerable. Don't discount those things that you didn't have control over that helped you get somewhere, and recognize that someone may not have been that fortunate. Regardless, I hope you paid it forward.

How do I go about using this advice? I feel like if I don't help my kids with their work, and make them do it, then they would not care at all and it would not get done. My parents were busy working and didn't care about me doing my school work and now I feel like I missed out on a lot of opportunities, if my habits were better and if I had done well in school.
