I want the America that all Americans worked to build again. I want the America that had a strong work ethic and did what needed to be done.
I want the America that as a child of 10 years old when I saw it snowing I got excited because I could earn some money. I recall getting dressed with the warmest clothes I had , then telling my parents that I was going to go out and shovel snow to earn some money. They didn’t bat an eye or look at me strange. They said, good. Go and do well.
So, I went out early and started knocking on the neighbor’s doors. I asked if they needed their side walk shoveled. They would ask me, how much? I would answer, “Whatever you think it is worth when I am done.” Most all said okay.
I would shovel and at times I would notice they would be peeking out at me as I worked. I kept working and never stopped. When I was done I knocked on their door. They would answer. I would say I am done. They would always give me more than what I was going to ask for. I would put the coins in my pocket and go to the next neighbor’s house. I even would look up and thank God for the coins. I did this all day. I was so cold when I finally returned home and so happy that I had put my signature on so many sidewalks…and earned some money that was so needed.
That is the America that I want to see return. The one where you go out and do what ever your skill is that you have at any age and return with a pride of doing your best and earnings for doing it. The government has interfered and stopped free thinking and individual accomplishment. It has killed the American dream….each had their own…some were small and some were big – but each had opportunity to pursue them.
I have heard that even lemonade stands in some municipalities are not allowed. The idea of entrepreneurial enterprise starting at a young age is being killed, destroyed by needless and pointless rules, regulations, and local bureaucratic nonsense in city councils.
A child needs to learn at a young age how it feels to be rewarded for a days work, or a project. I do not understand the dummy down things and all the consequences now being applied to discourage youth from entering into the American opportunity to earn some money.
Newspaper routes used to be jobs for children to learn valuable lessons of a good work ethic and responsible employment. Now most of these jobs are done by adults who have lost their job because of a plant shut down or mere job shortage.
Little by little, America has become an entirely different place. Many kids today don’t even know they need to work to earn money. Their parents are the ATM machines. Now, many of those kids are in culture shock for the machine can’t doll out the dollars like it used to. Sadly, we are at the brink of critical destruction and if we do not elect a man like Trump who knows how to fix the mess that has slowly engulfed most of the land….we will never have the land of the free we all used to know and love. It will be gone.
The American work ethic needs to be revived. It cannot without opportunity.
That is just one more reason why a Trump presidency is so valuably needed!

Oh Diane. So much to learn.

Our hero and hope Donald Trump STILL IS NOT CLOSE TO CLINCHING THE NOMINATION!!! Super Tuesday is March 1, 2016. In RECENT polls Trump in many of the Super Tuesday states is only slightly ahead or even behind – most notably TEXAS ( http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/march1GOP.html ) — (Note: Regarding delegate distribution, there are charts at http://frontloading.blogspot.com/p/2016-republican-delegate-allocation-by.html , https://ballotpedia.org/2016_presidential_nominations:_calendar_and_delegate_rules#Nomination_calendar_and_delegate_counts , http://www.thegreenpapers.com/P16/R-Alloc.phtml .) “As I previously commented, the establishment WANTS TO DEFY WE THE PEOPLE’S DEMAND TO NOMINATE TRUMP via a BROKERED convention. Thus, it’s important that Trump not just win but WIN BIG so that no one gives any credibility to Rubio’s accusation that 70% don’t want Trump. To quote Donald Trump JUNIOR at approximately 0:10 (of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IqfRbjcpDY – “Replay: Donald Trump, Jr. Speaks in Elko, NV (2-22-16)”) ‘Common Sense is actually starting to make a difference and so the party establishment even the Republican party will do WHATEVER they can to try to stop my father because they realize if he gets in there you know the little game that they are used to playing and everyone takes care of everyone else and everyone makes money off of everyone else’s thing and you know everyone’s doing incredibly well for doing nothing. You know that all ends. That all ends. And He’s going to change the game. So again to my point get out there and vote. There’s only so much that they can do if we win in LANDSLIDES. The people have to speak and the people have to finally have a voice again and that’s what we are trying to do. But yes make no mistake THEY ARE DEATHLY AFRAID OF MY FATHER ON BOTH SIDES because of what he will do to that system that they have grown very comfortable with.’ In short, Donald Trump apparently needs (at least) 1237 delegates. However, according to http://frontloading.blogspot.com/p/2016-republican-delegate-allocation-by.html , Trump still apparently only has 81 delegates. Also, Thursday night’s debate may get even more vicious against Donald Trump (“If Cruz Wants to Win, Thursday Night He’ll Have to Clock Trump With Everything He’s Got — And More” — http://www.dailywire.com/news/3638/if-cruz-wants-win-tomorrow-night-hell-have-clock-ben-shapiro ). It’s important to note that Trump apparently won according to virtually all demographics (including Hispanic: 45% Trump, 27% Rubio, 18% Cruz). HELLO, ALL NORMAL PEOPLE WANT A GOOD FINANICIAL SITUATION AND TO LIVE IN SAFETY AND FREEDOM; THUS, WE WANT TRUMP. LET’S MAKE IT HAPPEN!!! May G-d please bless and protect our Donald Trump.

Amen.
In anything goes California the state even taxes garage sales! What an indictment of greed. Who the hell do they think is going to call the State on Monday morning to report their weekend yard sale receipts of about $50.00?? Are these people for real? Yes, scary thing is that they are for real in the flesh ravenous vultures. Perhaps these dimwits will start to realize why Trump is a movement ,I am MOVEMENT!! And by the by, my Gramma’s chair ,last month, sold for $50.00 to an individual that fell in love with it. Got me a few extra bucks the way your shoveling of snow brought you! Should I have said “And bye the bye?”
Outstanding point. Many of the young today are LAZY also!!! They are hurting themselves. No motives to earn money. No motives to do much of anything but sit by the TV or computers.
