I attribute the loss of confidence and the old "get up and go" attitude of our ancestor Americans to the complete failure of the culture and the K-12 education

I attribute the loss of confidence and the old "get up and go" attitude of our ancestor Americans to the complete failure of the culture and the K-12 education system in most rural counties around the country. This trait is now more commonly found in immigrants coming into the United States.

>> This trait is now more commonly found in immigrants coming into the United States This is so true. The immigrant friends I have have moved around so much in the time they have been here. While people I know who aren’t doing well have lived in town their whole lives, never finding a worthwhile job. Too many excuses not to move.

>>This trait is now more commonly found in immigrants coming into the United States. Just want to point out that your ancestors were once immigrants coming into the USA.

  And then it got bred out of us by 80 years of the Democratic Party saying that everyone needs to be on the government teet.

    Naturalized and 2nd generation immigrants overwhelmingly vote for Democrats across all income lines and ethnic backgrounds, so that clearly doesn't hold water.

      They all get promised money. Look at those generations. Many stay on the government dole for generations.

  Agreed, I think the population sample is biased- inmigrants are by definition people who got and and left a place in an attempt to find a better one, and most current USA ancestors were immigrants.

    Well, all current USA residents had immigrant ancestors, even if they came over via a land bridge more than 10kya.
