Then And Now


This is what you use to hear in this country...
"Ask not what your country can do for you.  Ask what you can do for your country"...John F. Kennedy
This is what you hear these days...
"I don't need to do nothin' for my country.  My country will get someone else to do it."

This is what you use to hear in this country...
"The purpose in life is to contribute in some way to making things better"...Robert F. Kennedy
This is what you hear these days...
"The purpose in life is to sit back and let the government make everything better."

This is what you use to hear in this country...
"Free at last.  Free at last.  Thank God Almighty, free at last"...Martin Luther King, Jr.
This is what you hear these days...
"Free at last.  Free at last.  Thank the politicians in Washington.  Anything and everything I ever wanted is free at last."

This is what you use to hear in this country...
"Unemployment insurance is a prepaid vacation for freeloaders"...Ronald Reagan
This is what you hear these days...
  "Unemployment insurance is my God-given right and I should be able to stay home and get it forever."
