Of course "hungry" was not used literally. It's about being driven to better yourself. My grandparents, immigrants, landed in the new world with nearly nothing to their names. Nothing. They sought no handouts. They received no handouts. They worked hard and elevated themselves from absolutely nothing to eventually owning their own small business. This is the story of millions of immigrants who, hungry to succeed, pushed through thick and thin and made it happen.
A huge chunk of our population would be easy to look like sorry excuses for human being when compared to the stories most immigrants could tell you about their history in the new world.
Granted, we created some of these problems. That said, the human condition is such that some of us will not act unless put into a sink-or-swim predicament. Stories of able-bodied youngsters stuck in this alternate reality abound. Some have even taken to YouTube to very publicly show off what they can get for free from the government and actually talk about how you can do the same.
Look, I recognize there are a lot of things government has gotten right. That's the truth. However, today, it has degenerated into this thing that has been relentlessly destroying our country from the inside.
