	Why is it so hard for people to believe that the US is in
pretty good shape?  People that work hard and develop their skills
have jobs, keep their jobs, and can find new jobs when they need to.
Everyone I know that is having a hard time don't want to make the
effort to find a better job or work at educating themselves.  I've
seen how some people look for jobs, and it seems they expect to be
given employment simply by showing up to fill out an application.  In
almost all cases, it is not a matter of no opportunity or oppression
by the rich, but an attitude that a good lifestyle is earned simply by
existing rather than working.
