Mmhmm, there are. We're no more entitled to that money than they are, but the fact of the matter is that in the end you're still taxing people that much of their income away. And for what? Currently in our conversation it's been kind of assumed it's for wealth redistribution, but that's not true. Yes, lower income people do get aid from tax dollars, but that's not what a majority of our money goes to. It goes to superfluous government organizations that have absolutely no reason to exist. By cutting useless government programs the government can save a buttload of money AND be able to lower taxes for everybody. There's no doubt about it, the government needs tax dollars to operate. But currently, the government's got a hand in every honey pot.
Yes, this is exactly correct. Our current government is stuff and needs to be fixed. However, this is not going to happen, essentially ever. Unless we break from our stuffty two party system and instead have more parties with more influence.
In order to fix our government, we need congressmen with differing opinions. We need some Green people, we need some Libertarians and we need Peace and Freedom and all that stuff.
Without this, it will just be, someone lays down a bill, and then everyone says no. And so nothing will be done.
I personally think that people who receive government aid should be drug tested on a regular basis.
Well, think how much money that would cost. Would it cost more money to test hundreds of thousands of people, or let two thousand people just get away with it?
