SHORT COMMUNICATION 227
America’s Slacker Population
By
Roger Behra
Modern America has multitude of cultural problems, and there is one that the mass media avoids completely because of their extreme liberalism. And it hurts the American culture very much, because mass media fails to identify a large group of people. That group of people is called SLACKERS, and they greatly hurt the American society.
A SLACKER is one who is very lazy and one who does not care to work consistently well, or quickly enough. And to add insult to injury, society does not hold them accountable, and the mass media does not call attention to them. SLACKERS are like drones in the bee hive: there but uninteresting, and for the most part, useless. They really hurt America’s culture in various ways, and they are to be avoided at all costs.
SLACKERS take advantage of non-slackers. One of the many ways is to make it a way of life to consistently take government money. They claim disability, and then they use the government money (tax money that was given to the government from hard workers) to buy luxuries like cable TV and cell phones. They act like they are entitled to other people’s money complain about not getting enough of it.
The problem is welfare has become a lifestyle instead on only being a temporary hand up while the recipient gets back to work instead of continuing the I deserve it attitude and mentality.
Added to the SLACKER problem is the American society. It has encouraged the great slacker problem by excusing bad behavior. The liberal mindset considers it part of political correctness. This reinforces the idea that lazy and selfish behavior has no consequences.
There are remedies that would cut down on the large numbers of SLACKERS. Anyone that is not genuinely disabled who is getting government money should work for the government, and a time limit should be set on the government payout. Finally, a lessor amount should be allotted. These remedies would give the government some return on taxpayer money given to them for a shorter period of time, and the lessor amount would also help to conserve money that hard working Americans are forking over. The SLACKER would be more inclined to really get a job as a result. Finally, the American culture would benefit as the number of SLACKERS would certainly and greatly diminish. Who can argue with that?
