Well I did NOT say that I liked everything and that we have a PERFECT system.
But after all the research and study I have done, there is NO PLACE else on this planet I would want to live.
Sure our system is messed up and needs lots of work but I don't know of any better system.
The MAIN reason our country is in the mess it is now is bad planning and implemenation of social service programs. A person that receives gov't benefits today have NO incentive to get out and get to work. If they play the system right they get their rent paid, their utilities provided, food, and healthcare. And they have to do nothing about it or to keep getting it.
As long as the govt bails out companies like Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and lets the people that run those companies go free with all the money they "made" nothing will get better.
And the politicians are planning on taxing the working people more so that people that won't work get more and more benefits.
If BHO passed every program he wanted we would have a close to 75% tax base before it was all over.
I am all for helping the young, the elderly, our vets and the truly sick and infirm, but perfectly healthy people should get NO handouts or help. They should earn their own way just like I do.
