When did it happen?

Why do some Americans think that the government has to take care of us. They think if there is a natural disaster, the government will take care of everything. If their our child is born with a disability that the government is responsible. If their child is a monster that the school/government has to take care of it.

It is nice to have a government that will help but..... so many Americans think the government has to solve the problem. Here in NH and MA we have EEE. Now the headline reads "N.H. Mothers Demand Results In EEE Fight". They even expect the government to be responsible for mosquitoes. What makes this case even better is that these people decided to build their homes in the middle of the seacoast swamp land. These people will be the same ones to cry that Americans are having their rights taken away. They cannot have it both ways.

Our government was created to protect us not to take care of every problem that comes our way. Of course these people know how to work the system to get the government to work for them. It always amazes me when I hear that XYZ company has had a hard year and they have applied for financial assistance from the government. Hey my company has had a hard year. Uncle Sam please send me money.

Please don't misunderstand me..... I think our government has some responsibilty to take care of some things but..... if you decide to build your house in the swamp you cannot expect the government to take care of the bugs. If you have a child and that child is born with a disability and both you and your husband are doctors.... why does the government have to send you a check every month. I know a couple families who have children with disabilities and they get fianancial assistance and are MORE than capable of dealing with the costs on their own.

Why do you think that so many parents want their child "labeled" ADD or ADHD or whatever other tag you can give them. Because some of those labels come with a government check.
