Just a slight point. I don't believe anyone has the *right* to such pleasures. But people have the right to work for them. You don't have the right to a home if you want someone else to pay for it, but I see no reason why someone who's willing to work shouldn't be able to benefit from his work.

It's the continuation of a thought....

The hard work was implied via the previous sentence. That's what I meant by the blood, sweat and tears. Life is hard and people want it to be easy. They want to be handed things and our government is making such possible.

I might be biased. I might be bitter. I am a caucasian male between the ages of 18 and 65. I work damn hard for my money. Right now I have cracks in my fingers because the skin of my hands is so dry and hard. Cracks that ache and bleed. That is the reality of my job. I ache and bleed to make a living.

Then my taxes are given to people who have committed a crime to get here. Who have learned the loopholes of the system and how to exploit it, all the while making it seem like I'm an insensitive asshole for not wanting criminals (because that's what every single -ILLEGAL- immigant is) to recieve a portion of the money -I- worked for.

Why is it my blood, sweat and tears, yet they are the ones who get the home, family and simple pleasures of life?
