Post Subject: Yes, I am fed up Read Article
For anyone who reads anything I write, I am often accused of being mean, critical, opinionated, closed minded etc. and that's okay. But my opinions come from being fed up with all of the takers in this country. The greedy people that don't contribute. I don't mean big business that are "greedy" but everyday people.

I pay a lot in taxes. I have worked since I was a teenager and paid into the system the whole time. I have never gotten a free ride from this government because I refuse to do so. There were times when I could have applied for assistance but I just couldn't do it. There was always someone worse of then me and my family.

Now I see people complaining that our government doesn't take care of us enough, they want free healthcare, free gas, free everything and it just isn't fair. It doesn't make sense to me.

There are legal citizens that truly need help and we should help them, but those that are not legal citizens and still expect the free stuff - I am done with you. I won't be nice anymore. I won't keep my mouth shut. Enough is enough. You have jeopardized this country on many levels. You are not entirely responsible but you certainly haven't contributed enough. You work hard, get paid for it and send it to Mexico. Unbelievable!

I don't mean to single out Mexicans but they are certainly the majority of illegals in Tyler. So when I see a sign in spanish I crawls all over me. It is rubbing my nose in it and it doesn't "smell so good" anymore.

Yes, God says love thy neighbor. Well, it is a two way street and I don't "feel the love" from illegal aliens.
