America was Founded by Risk Takers

To me, America was founded by risk takers. It was founded by people willing to risk their life while leaving everything they had known risking their life crossing an ocean on a sail boat, and arriving at a country that was not founded yet. They were willing to risk their life, and weren't afraid of hard work. That to me, is the America that was started and needs to be kept alive. There's people in the United States of America that are willing to take the risk, start a business, build a life and work hard for it day in and day out. I do think there's people in the country that don't necessary want to take any risks, nor work hard for a better life. We really need to think about what started this country and what holds it together come November. I think you can divide the country by those that work hard, and then all the rest. All of the political games, spending waste, media frenzy, and lolly-gagging needs to stop. We all need to get down to business, figure out what needs to be done, and work hard for it, or we'll lose what we have. The old saying , you don't know what you've got until it's gone, it's very true.
