Please take a few minutes to see this video. Best speech I've heard for years. This is the spirit ...
I would have to say this guy hit close to home what has been happening in almost every developed country in their social benefit system.
What a pep talk!
Mazel tov, we found some fundamental principles that we can ground our feet on and root our inspiration from!
However, for me, what got me where I am today came from my instinct of survival rather than anything else (We came from different generation, mate).
During the years gone by, all I had to deal with to get through most of the day was to find something that was edible. This sense of insecurity on surviving pushed me to come to my very consciousness that no pie could fall from the sky or no fruit could hit me in the head, unless I put myself out there and fought as hell to keep my head above the water!
(PS: Here, I have to acknowledge that we did get support from government back then, but, given the vast population and poor government, we only could get enough to not be starved, yet enough to support our growth)
So, over the years, It started growing on me to be persistent, be resilient, be diligent, to a point that it frequently haunts me bad that if I stop fighting, what I have in my life right now is going to slip away from me.
From the background this guy gave out in this clip, I got an impression that he came from pretty much the same generation as me and went through pretty much what my generation did. But, oh God, he came an awful long way to get where he was that finally made him proud!
I wonder why!
He got full muscular limbs and strong heart beats, he made himself a home on a street at certain stage, then crack house....He brought up 7 children in between or after he was disqualified for food stamps? No matter when, I am pretty certain he wouldn't be able to raise those 7 children all on his own (I won't touch on to what extent his wife got involved in this enormous task), the social benefit system would absolutely provide the support in those children's upbringing. You understand much more than I do about how the democratic system works!
So, once a social benefit beneficiary, he should be the last person who is qualified to shed a doubt on this beneficial system. He became independent was because he came to his perfect sense eventually and realized he had to be man up and earn his own decent existence, to set a perfect example for his beloved children how to stand on their own feet. That is all his obligation he is in debt to his children, to his citizenship as a perfectly strong muscular human being. He earned all the credits for himself, he shouldn't credit his current decency to any government at all. Not to Obama administration, certainly not Trump's either.
All he does in this clip is to explain how Trump administration could take a credit for his pre-established decent, much deserved living privileges, to make him out to be an authentic Trump supporter!
Just for argument's sake, bro!
