You just made the argument against your self. I'm sure most here are willing to help others out who are willing to help themself. In your own statement "but not everyone is as motivated as I" so we should pay someone not willing to make an effort as well as others working to get ahead? You also said you worked two jobs. This is an option for all of us if we want to better our lives. My grandmother work as a volunter for a group which tried to help families get out of poverty. She finally quit saying that ony abou 2 out of 10 people wanted to work their way out of poverty. The other 8 out of 10 where looking for hand outs and not willing to help themself. I'm sure those numbers vary but believe that anyone willing to work hard can make it in America. It really depressed her to quit but after wanting to help she felt she was being used.
