Kevin O'Leary aka Mr. Wonderful(@kevinolearytv):"The dead bird under the nest never learned how to fly. No more checks." That's what my mother told me on my graduation day. I didn't have a job and it was a tough couple of years before I got my act together. My mother hated entitlement and the idea of de-risking someone's life. The worst thing you can do for a child is guarantee them a free ride.
