How many people do you see with tattoos who are on food stamps? A real decent tattoo can cost $1,800.00. You could have saved for a car, home, or invested that money but you wanted a tattoo. I could go on but the fact of the matter is that people make choices and when those choices don’t work out, they blame successful people, the country, or the government. They never look in the mirror. Mark is right and his story about his grandfather proves it! For those of you willing to defer immediate gratification and work hard, the USA is the place to be!
