I'm Already Over the Olympics
August 10th 2008 07:58
Stephanie Rice opened Australia's medal tally today receiving a gold medal while other Australians are homeless, or otherwise unable to provide properly for their families, or maybe they have to work extremely long hours just to make ends meet. Don't get me wrong it's good that Rice got a gold medal for Australia but what I am against is the amount of money spent on the Olympics while there are less fortunate people, even though they are just as important as our athletes, are missing out.
There should be no one in Australia homeless, there should be no Australian unable to afford a proper education for their children, there should be no Australian without a job, no one starving, there should be no one killed on our roads because the necessary funds are spent in these areas before luxuries like the Olympics.
I am a proud Australian, I work bloody hard, I buy Australian products as much as I can, and I support Australia wherever I can but I'm not given an extraordinary opportunity like representing my country at the Olympics. Instead I rather earn my own money and not have taxpayers pay me to have fun and play sport. I am a true blue Aussie. I work for my successes and achievements.
