When you don't have a job

When you don't have a job (but you need one), your job is to find a job.
When you have a job, you have two jobs. Do the best you can at your job and find a better job.
Job security is the pipe dream of those who think their employer (or the government) is responsible for their financial well-being.

Says you!
That's the old philosophy, my friend.
In the new America--the changed and socially just America--each citizen is a gear in the grinding machine. It's for the good of the many. Duh!
The only way that America will ever truly be a just country is for K-through-College education to be provided by the FED and for all jobs to be linked to government. This way, your future is in the hands of something much more responsible than you can ever be. This way, there's no competition and nobody making more than anyone else at the common level. We'll all be equal. We'll all have the same healthcare. We'll all have the same type of homes and cars. We'll all be eating the same food.
Everyone will have everything they need! And we know this is what's needed because the government says so. They're better than us. They consistently prove it.
This is how we commons will reach prosperity. And, like it or not, it's the only way! You should know, if you're a true America, that only the white man has a chance to succeed in a capitalist system, and that's not fair to anyone else. After the chance to acheive on your own merit is taken away, everyone stands on equal ground. Even if you don't want to be a gear in the machine, the government will ensure that other gears grind harder so that your lack of contribution will not be missed.
Look, this is the only way it can work. It's the intellectual's wet dream of a society. Nobody ever having dreams, nobody having hopes, nobody able to earn more or acheive more or have more than their neighbor.
The government HAS to make this work! Everyone else already knows that it's capitalism that breeds greed and people like Bush who fight wars for oil that put us into a financial mess. If Bush had gotten on board fully with Frank and them and their social engineering to begin with, we could have skipped the changing of the guard and the huge spending packages and just eased right into America's new just social system.
This is years overdue. America is the last to try this brilliant, working system. I don't know about you, but I can't wait!

LOL Matersfish.
The only thing you left out was blaming the rich for all our earthly woes. ;~D

Why are we not resposible for ourselves? Over dependence on the government has contributed to the deficit. Maybe it's time for us as citizens to stand up and be responsible. We truly are boomerangers with bad penny syndrome much like kids that refuse to leave the nest. Every little bit that we do for ourselves will possibly relieve our government of providing some aid to us; a penny saved is a penny earned. I'm just sayin'...Just a thought.

Edited to add:
The rich are responsible for our earthly woes! See, most people with their overrated independent thought might claim that the "rich" bracket of society includes business owners and those that offer employment. But under America's new social justice system, we learn that isn't the truth.
You hangers-on to your silly free market dreams and freedoms are missing the larger point. With social justice, no one is left behind, no one is competing, and our great government finally has a chance to set things right!
It's like that awesome thing they're doing in overly liberal schools. Instead of having winners and losers in sports, you do away with sports altogether! This way, no child feels like a loser! See, when a child feels like a loser, he or she isn't being treated fairly. The system needs to revolve around and run on people's feelings of inadequacy. The winners are bullies and get to celebrate their hard work and acheivement. That's not fair to people who are only fast enough to finish 2nd in a race.
It's great that this theory of child-proofing life to throw whiners a bone is finally going nationwide.
(Stops being sarcastic from now on)

Right now my job is to find a job and hopefully keep that job as that is even hard now a days. I hope to find a job soon as my unemployment earnings are getting less and not getting any better at all and i can barely make it by with paying bills. I am also online to find a job all the time and to have a job online by writing articles to make extra money and by mylotting to earn some type of earnings.

Actually, you're a great example to my point. You need a job, so you create your own job with your online activities... so what you're doing now is looking for a better job. Which is what I advised in the OP.

You're right about that. If you think you're safe in your job, think again, there's no such thing as job security these days. I'm currently training my replacements as we speak because my job is going to be done cheaper in Brazil. So, my job now is finding another job because I'm sure any day I'll be told I'm redundant. Oh, and it's a US company that's sending all it's jobs abroad.

You mean the rich aren't responsible for all of our problems?
