Sounds like a change of jobs or location may be in your future. No sense in being miserable.
Why do people not want to work?

I do remodeling in peoples homes and i see it all the time. parents have there 30 yr old kids living in the basement. The mother is out mowing the lawn while the lazy kid plays video games, this i blame on the parent. i have told more than one to make therekid get off ther rears and do something. They say they just wont listen. I say quit feeding them. Maybe they will leave.

The guy that works out here in the shop with me, that is his son. I've known him for 24 years. He's in his 30's, the whole time I've known him he's worked 5 days and quit that job. He doesn't have a license, he sits at home and plays video games all night/day. The guy out here one day was talking about pushing his truck in the driveway, I said why didn't you get your son to help? He said he has asthma. I said so does Jerome Bettis and he was one of the greatest running backs in the NFL. It starts at home, you have to be a parent to your kid instead of a friend.

Another guy I know is in his early 50's. Never see him doing work outside his house, his yard doesn't get mowed, etc. He has had at least 4 jobs in the last year finishing sheetrock. I noticed a few months ago he got a new job and had a small company truck. Man did he and his g/f use it for personal use and using the company gas. I noticed last week the company truck was gone, his g/f told my wife he got fired for running his mouth. The boss told him what to do and he didn't want to do it that way. My wife said unless you own the company you have to listen to the boss. She didn't like that. Yesterday she was complaining he got another job and is only making $14 an hour compared to $25 with the truck job, my wife said he shouldn't have ran his mouth. My wife is red headed and doesn't hold anything back, lol.

If you find a place to do business with that has more than 50% of it's employees that are competent you hit the jackpot..

All this can be fixed at the ballot box by electing people that promise free food,shelter and medical care. What's not to like about everyone can stay home to build tricycle motors,sleep or fish 7 days a week if they choose?

That chart is misleading to say the least, you need to look at the big picture (ie-total taxation). My state (New Hampshire) is shown as having the third-highest property taxes in the country, but we have neither an income nor a general sales tax (though there is a so-called rooms & meals tax) so property taxes are the primary source of revenue. If you look at total tax burden we are the 5th lowest.
Politically, we're somewhere in the middle...neither red nor blue.

We boomers were a lot more independent than today's generation, that's for sure. I couldn't wait to get out of the house, most of my friends were the same way. Bought my first house when I was 25.
Then again, my father lived with his parents until he got married (early 30s).
