A while ago I saw a post on someones Facebook, talking about the deadbeats within our society. I have been thinking about it ever since. We need to be careful and think who we are calling deadbeats. There are some, who bilk the system and do whatever they can to get something for nothing, but it is not the majority. There are some 27 million veterans who receive welfare We are supportive of our troops when they are overseas, when it seems patriotic, but they are largely forgotten by many when they come home. That is a crime. I dont call our soldiers, our elderly, our 3 million foster children, our disabled, either mentally or physically, or people who lost their jobs in a terrible recession, deadbeats. I live in Ohio where hard working people, living within their means and buying modest homes, paying their taxes, then lost their jobs by no fault of their own. They now live in homes that have decreased 40% in property values. They can’t move. They are stuck. There are no jobs. Don’t they deserve to be helped? I work with disabled people through Canine Companions for Independence, who, just want to be like us abled body people, but due to unfortunate circumstances dealt to them, by no fault of their actions, are imprisoned with the body they have. These people are not deadbeats. Do they need help? Yes! That is what it means to live in a society. You need to help people that did not get the breaks of the more fortunate. Remember the most important reason you are the religion you are, or got the education you got, or were given the opportunities you got, is largely due to where you were born and who you were born to. Think about that. Two things you had no impute. You did nothing to “deserve” them. They were “gifts” given to you, and not to others, some of which are labeled deadbeats, who were just as deserving. as you. Think about it.
