“Our problem isn’t the product, it’s the box we put it in. Our message should not be ‘tailored’ to a specific demographic group, but presented to empower the individual American, whatever the color, gender or ethnicity.”

At http://www.prhayz.com, thanks for posting the “Like.”
Government giveaways are always first government takeaways. Those receiving should be mindful that those taken from will stop doing what they do, so the receiving has both a ceiling and an expiration date. Liberty and initiative and hard work have no ceiling and the only expiration date is the one set yourself.
If you think someone is holding you down or holding you back, think again. They’re too busy trying to succeed themselves to worry about you. Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines.
