8.’AGE AND ERA’ CHANGE

The country we live in is hindered by moving from the ‘age of responsibility’ to the ‘age of entitlement’.

Hands are held out for government largesse. Young and old people say, ‘Give me, give me’.

No longer is the country a place where people accept responsibility for their destiny and forge a path to the future based on effort and enterprise.

We expect to be ‘kept’ and care not to contribute through work and effort to the development of this place.

Decreasing numbers of people show initiative, enterprise and resourcefulness.

Increasing numbers are parasitic, living off benefits derived from the public purse.
