Donna Summer - She works hard for her money....

Donna Summer's song "She works hard for her money"..where did "she" (or he) go?

Starting at the age of 12, I got my first job; paperboy.  I was up everyday at 5am.  I walked my dog then jumped on my bike and delivered newspapers around the neighborhood.  At 14,  I upgraded to a new job at a local grocery store...since then I put myself thru college, paid for my wedding, bought my own house and started my own business.  Hard work has always been the norm to me (and always will)....but today I wonder, are the people that WORK HARD FOR THEIR MONEY, a dying breed?

When did American stop caring about work ethics?  When did Americans become lazy? When did Americans decide fat is the norm?  These are all questions that boggle my mind!

At some point parents decided its was OK for their 12 year old to sit in front of a TV instead of letting him/her get a paper route.  At some point parents decided that it was OK for their child to sit inside on their computer rather than playing outside.  At some point parents decided it was OK to let their child become one of the "Billions and Billions Served" at the local drive thru rather having a healthy home cooked meal.

I am tired of watching our country fall apart! The only way to save this wonder country is to reverse this trend!  Join me and my vision; Rise up, get motivated, get physical and WORK HARD FOR YOUR MONEY!

Sincerely,
