Darkest Days (also a good album by Stabbing Westward. . .)

Honest, hardworking Americans who value self-advancement through education, risk-taking, enterprising ventures and motivation are going to be punished worse than ever before to support and prop up the legions of deadbeat, slacker, grunt labor baby factory types.

I have a number in my head - a percentage of total income. If my "payout" into our stupid gubmint redistribution of wealth programs exceeds that, I'm packing up my stuff, my family and I'm moving overseas. Seriously. I love this country and it would break my heart to do it, but I believe you have to go where the opportunities are. If we get to a point where the opportunities are no longer in America due to an influx of thieving illegals, resident deadbeats and ghetto trash, I leave. Sadly, I see us going rapidly in that direction. Hard work, risk-taking and education are punished and marginalized. Staying at home and sucking off the government teat and being a sheep-like follower is rewarded.

Very sad.

I love sailing and boats too, but I wouldn't stay on board a sinking one. If that number I have in my head ever gets met, I walk. I don't care how "good" my situation is or how good my job is. It's not anything I can't get elsewhere. It'd be difficult, it'd be painful and it'd be a gigantic PITA, but ultimately it'd beat staying on board and seeing my efforts go to prop up a society of pathetic deadbeats and users - and a government that rewards/encourages/condones it.
