Unemployed in America

[kandy]

With so many people without work, dim prospects, 6 people for every job out there... and the Senate dragging their feet to help Americans... I could go on and on, but... this just went up in effort to get attention. Who knows if it will help. But if you know or are one of the concerned folks over people losing home, food, electric etc and want to support this... here is a link

The sentiment is great. Unfortunately it's written in such a way that anyone who signs it is declaring they are unemployed. If that's the intention then so be it but as written I can't support it.

Unemployment payments are becoming the new 'welfare.'

There are things that need doing and people willing to pay for things to be done. Quit looking for a job, find something that you can do that others will pay you to do. That's how new businesses are started. This is America, You don't need anyone's permission to start a business (for now)

This is the exact reason I started a computer business nearly 5 years ago after being laid off twice in one year. If I'm not making money, it is because I am too lazy to go after it.
