President Kennedy got it right

I’ll always remember this part of one of President Kennedy’s speeches. I was not even an American citizen then, but I watched it from London, England. It had a profound impact on me. I was twelve years old.

The part I’m referring starts at minute 3:30.

In these days of government handouts, (especially Obamacare) increasing at a reckless pace to secure votes at the expense of our future generations, we need to look within.

We must not stand there with our hands out, hoping to score services, money and benefits at the expense of other taxpayers. We must restore the true American tradition of self sufficiency. Our future depends on it.
