A CNN Viewer Has Questions for Mike Rowe

#1 and #2 are a bit conservative and nationalistic, but I see nothing wrong with the rest.

Basically the summary: "I love America, and am lucky to live here. I'm going to work hard, because hard work is the path to success. Lazy people suck." OMG! Tea bagger!

Where do you see Rowe singling anyone out as "lazy"?

I actually agree with the linked pledge for the most part. That said, to answer your question, item #12 is:

12. I believe that all people are created equal. I also believe that all people make choices. Some choose to be lazy. Some choose to sleep in. I choose to work my butt off.

Not really seeing the problem with #2, but #3 has me mad. There are plenty of bad jobs that wear down your body and mind while offering subsistence or below-subsistence wage, and offer no or false hopes for advancement.
