Agreed with most of your post until the end - was being American not given? Surely your ancestors worked for it, but most jobs you are not even qualified for if you are not American (what you get for granted) I think you are falling into the fallacy of hard work (which is a responsibility and a must), failing to recognize that these opportunities were given to you in the 1st place, which you rightfully justified with a good work ethic after the fact. The point is a lot of people will not get a chance, even if they busted their asses. With this said, laziness is not an excuse either so I agree that the anti-work youth sentiment is a virus for economy and the entire country.
