Great article! It’s so true. Personal responsibility has become an antiquated idea in today’s society. I’m all for helping those in need, but let’s focus on “teaching people to fish” as opposed to giving them a free handout that simply enables their misbehavior. People should be allowed second chances but that doesn’t mean you should remove all consequences for poor decisions. It’s time for the grasshoppers to pull their own weight and not be a burden on others.

I should add Del has been known to slam the Republicans too. Personally, I’d be a Republican if they weren’t so liberal.

If you squeal when someone adapts the Ant and the Grasshopper story, you MIGHT just be a grasshopper.

If you think let’s slam those bankers because I just know the dems will take better care of us, you MIGHT just be a grasshopper.

I’m sure I could think of more but you get the idea with apologies to Jeff Foxworthy.

I’m only specualting, but I doubt that TomC and Krista work 60-70 hrs per week. Or, used their hard earned savings to invest in a rental with granite and hardwood floors where someone lives with 5 kids, a flat screen that would make a sports bar jealous, and nicer furnishing than they do. Nor, witness the gov’t direct depositing the $1500 each month into their bank account on behalf of these grasshoppers.

I applaud your taking a stance and speaking out Del. If you have any political aspirations you have my vote.

The thing about hard work is there needs to be a reward at the end. If there is no reward why work extra hard for the same as everyone else. It doesnt make sense for some one to bust their hump for no reward or gain. To get somewhere you must make sacrifices along the way, no pain no gain. I enjoy my life. I enjoy working hard. I enjoy working and donating to the cause of my choice. Hands down I believe in myself, and can count on ME more than anyone else out there. I know I will do what it takes to get what i need. If I wait on the govt…. When will you get thaken care of… Pull a number we will see you in a month…

I believe in me. I believe in you. Let me be and I will let you be, but if you want to learn how to make it, let me help you with education and information.

We live in the greatest county in the world! People come here to make money from other countries. They save thier money, some go back to thier country of origin with wealth. Some stay here and build mini empires. Ask not what you can do for your country, but what your country can do for you…. I think not. Ask what you can do for your country and contribute… The sky is the limit. Answer to yourself and amaze yourself!

whata mentality, this guy is making decision on others people needs:

“ants don’t really need all the extra that they are building they are satisfying a queen”

This guy really hasnt realized from where all this money is coming from:

“Modern Version is the banks, investors, and credit rating agencies represent the queen demanding more and more in return Greed beyond greed until her whole system collapses”

We (the ants) are being forced/used to fund with taxpayer’s dollars the banks and other queens.

Besides which side of the political side, if u continue believe you are an ant, you never will be a queen.

I really like hearing different points of view about politics and real estate. Del seems to always make all of it so simple. The information Lifestyles gives me is priceless.

Good Luck!

Sure is sad that we ALL can’t say what we believe without people getting upset. I gues this is a one sided world on many fronts. I support your free speach!

Because real estate is the driving force in the economy, and because it is so money intensive, it will always be closely tied with politics.

Best wishes.

I am really surprised and disappointed. I visited the website for the 1st time (referred by a friend) and noticed this. I thought this was a real estate organization, not a political organization.

It is disturbing and sad to find this on the 1st page of the Lifestyles website.

I suggest you increase the level of professionalism for your organization.
