It's my Passion...

[C-Duck]

It feels like everyone wants to take away the things worth living and working for in my world. Fishing is my number one passion and hobby next to my family. I work my balls off so I can have a decent life and so I can do the few things I enjoy. Each day though, I grow more pissed off at our governement, and those that they enable who believe it is their God given right to freeload off those of us who make it happen.

I spend the first five months of every year working to pay my taxes. Nearly half my production goes to our government, and I use virtually none of its "services"...(save for our military and first responders who deserve every penny they get for keeping us safe!!!). Social security, welfare, education, entitlement this, entitlement that, after entitlement... none of that helps me nor will it ever. Sadly, our governement and much of the population can't get up off their own ass to whipe themselves. I am tired of supporting them.

And now, as if taking the wealth I have earned, and my drive to succeed, is not enough, they want to say you can't even do the very things you want to do in your free time. Marx and Lennon would be so proud of America today.

If they take away the things worth living for, why bother? It will give a rational man a reason to do irrational things...

"Don't Tread On Me" as you may not like how I react.

Fishing is everything. The more they take away, that faster the system comes apart. What's next? Books? Your property? Your children?

I honestly don't think you could have said it any better.

Amen. The work ethic in this country is a joke. The freeloading and system playing is out of control. I also work my ass off so I can fish. Take my passion away and I am surely not going to have to, or want to, work so hard (translation = less taxes, less spending). Brilliant.

In the eyes of men who work hard and has to give to those who "choose" not to work, defending your rights and ones self from a government like our current on is no so irrational

we must stand for what we believe and help defend those who defend our freedom!

This crap is getting old real quick. The gravey train is quickly running out of gravey. Somebody better wake up.
