There is a lot in this country that needs fixing and much of it depends on your point of view. Can we agree however, that hard work by everyone is a beginning? Does anyone take issue the principal that all able bodied people between 21 and 65 should be hard at work?

Well that is a good thought,but the division will never allow it to happen. The division will have to end first and blindly blaming one group,when both are to blame, won't unite us.

I think able bodied and able minded people, who do not have another obligation (a sick/ dying/ injured family member), between 21 and 60 should work. Most people in this country already do have jobs and work.

Yes, absolutely. On a side note, does posting like there's no tomorrow on YA constitute hard work? Is some work more valid and profitable than other work? Or does everyone who puts in the hours deserve respect and consideration? Just some thoughts. :)

if they are able.... sometimes its less about work and more about after work.
its great you work a 9-to-5 everyday. but do you spend a few hours iwth your kids?
do you work with your town to improve things?
do you go to the PTA?
do you report crimes? do you report accidents or messes that the city is not cleaning up? (possibly because they are unaware)
do you try to not jsut encoruage reading, writing, and math education but social education? work against bigotry and violence?
most of our issues are not about money and aren't about people not working enough.

I'm curious as to what your definition of working hard is. Yes I believe all that are able should be working. But we are not slave labor to this country and the big corporations. I feel work,family and play require equal attention.

I intend to teach my son a work ethic as early as 13. At age 5, he's already doing very light household chores (fixing his bed in the morning, putting away silverwear, and setting the table for dinner).

I would be happy to be at work. I have applied for a lot of jobs since I got laid off, but am considered "overqualified" because my last job was writting computer code. When someone hires me, I will work, and work well, as I have done for most of my life.

Yes, but only if you define a stay at home mom as being hard at work.

Good idea, except for me. I am 63 and am collecting Social Security. I like it.

why should i work or try to better myself and make more money for my family? when/if hillary gets elected she is just going to take most of what i work for and give it to the people who won't or can't work. (hmm, that sounds suspiciously like socialism). it really serves me better just to stay in the low income bracket.
