As a U.S. Citizen YOU are entitled to:
1.
|
Enjoy the rights and freedoms as American Citizens as defined in OUR Constitution and Bill of Rights
|
2.
|
Voice your opinion (see #1)
|
3.
|
Vote (see #1 and #2) to put anyone in office you think will do a better job for the people.
|
4.
|
Do nothing for a living – but keep in mind you get out of life what you give. Meaning, you can freeload only for so long, then, eventually, no one wants to have anything to do with you.

Go out and look for a job, hold it, pay your bills and taxes, and keep the rest of your money – no one else is deserved of the money you make for you and your family. If you so choose, you can give whomever you want your money – that’s your choice. And, while you are at it, let’s not pass judgment on others who make a different wage than you do. If you want more money, do something which will make you more money – some have it hard, some have it easy. It’s up to you. By the way – easy and hard are by your hands and efforts – and not by others.

If you lose your job you can file for and collect unemployment – as federal, state, and local laws dictate. This now includes looking for a job – hint hint. So, look for a job… (see #5)

7.
|
Complain about others (Government, Corporations, Banks, Etc..) who take advantage of you – yet do not ask for the same thing you are complaining about (a bail out…). And, do not spend your time waiving your 99% finger and OUR flag in vein at those who you complain about. The media will only give you so much air / internet time, then, like any other freeloader, will simply ignore you. They will find another story that is truly is worthy of interest…

Go after your version of the American dream; be what you want to be – Yet I implore you to think about how you achieve that; in your journey DO NOT do the same thing to others, which causes harm and discomfort (which may have been done to you). Set a precedent, be a teacher, be a true leader - become the leader who others will WANT to pattern themselves after.

A government backed loan for educational purposes – which by the way is not a right, privilege, nor gift. It is an opportunity for you (at the graciousness of our government – voted on by and for the people before you) to seek and build your version of the American dream (see #8) – please note that the word “loan” is italicized for a reason – it states that the monies given to you are temporarily put in your hands for a specific purpose (that being education) and at some point YOU will pay back the loan to the government who so graciously gave it to you – in most cases it was granted to you with NO conditions such as bad credit… however, because the government took YOU at your word that you would pay back that “loan” – do so…

Ask for help from others. But it'd be the right "human" thing to do to give back to others what you so generously received... meaning, if someone else needs help, be the helping hand without question or expecting something back in return...
|
11.
|
Do whatever you want in life, but suffer or reap the consequences* of your actions. Personally, in the end – you will be the one who suffers or reaps consequences*, yet others will only be left with the memories of the character you portrayed and role you played in their lives…
