'I have a problem, I'll get a grant.' 'I'm homeless, the government must house me.' They're casting their problem on society. And, you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first. It's our duty to look after ourselves and then, also to look after our neighbour. People have got the entitlements too much in mind, without the obligations. There's no such thing as entitlement, unless someone has first met an obligation." I do belive that you should pick up your boots traps and earn a living standing on your own to feet I am sure most of us do this anyway but I also believe in this current climate people who are losing there jobs to no fault of there own need help when they fall on hard times. I always thought she was a hard faced cow and did not relate to the average man on the street.
