So a man was laid off from his job, making it difficult to provide for his family. His next step? No…he didn’t ask for donations or handouts. No, he didn’t take food stamps. He didn't even blame big businesses. The man did everything in his power to get himself a job....

Which included going out onto the street outside Busch Stadium in Missouri with a stack of resumes. Because he wanted to work for his living and work to support his family. Now, at first look it's a sad sight. But depending on your point of view, it can become an inspiring one.

The economy's been tough for a lot of people. While more and more people are leaving the workforce, this guy is doing anything he can to get back in. Of course, if you read the comments at the original post on Reddit, leftists are naturally outraged. Some comments.

"Doing what it really takes"

Humiliating himself in public. Reddit has really taken a sharp turn to the political right wing.

This. I came here to make sure someone said this. the OP comment is conservative "Bootstrap" rhetoric at its worst.

Yes. The leftists on Reddit think that a man, looking for a job... is "too Conservative." Behold today's left, ladies and gentleman. To them, Conservatism at its most extreme, is supporting a man looking for work. Nobody's saying that this is the ideal situation. Nobody's even saying that the current economy (and government manipulation thereof) hasn't failed him. But all of that is irrelevant to the concept, that human beings regardless of circumstance, always have a choice. This man (as they were once called) made a conscious decision to do whatever it takes to improve his circumstance. Let's look at some more delusions from the Bernie Sanders crowd shall we?
