The country has become a world of hand-outs and freebies. I put myself and two of my three children through college with hard work, paying the tuition myself and scholarships. Too many people just take, take, take and expect even more after that.

While all their friends were given newer cars for their 16th birthday. Heck NO! You want it, you buy it. And I'll tell you what, my kids appreciated their vehicles more and took care of it.
