I want to whine a little bit.

We here at SMF (I think) ARE all working and ARE all trying to adapt!
No offense intended JunkFreak

The numbers came out yesterday or the day before, and the workforce participation rate in the U.S. Is at a 38 year low.

Google 'workforce participation rate' there's plenty to read there.

The people in this country who used to work and pay taxes aren't working and aren't paying taxes.

We who actually ARE working and ARE paying taxes have to pick up the slack because cuts in government spending don't go over well.

Take a look at the taxes you pay. Everyone should have to pay taxes QUARTERLY in my humble opinion. Getting a little taken out every 2 weeks stings, but you don't realize the actual BURDEN it is until you pay it all in one big chunk quarterly.

Somebody has to pick up the tab for all the programs and alphabet soup agencies that YOU pay for.

So yeah, get off your A$$ and get to work. Uncle Sam needs you.

Edit: done whining now. Have a good weekend

No offense taken.
However, it was not my intention to suggest that any member doesn't work hard.
Let's be real, you can't scrap without working hard..

My intention is to motivate, like I've been motivated by members here.
I believe there is a solution to every problem. If I can contribute something that helps another member that's great. That's what this forum is about, for me.

I am encouraged every time I log on to SMF. Learn something new everyday.
Even from rants or "whining", as I did from your post.
