First, the government has created this situation. And secondly, the American people continue to support the government in their efforts to create a poor and dependent society. The government has taken away the opportunities to be a self-supporting people. Thirdly, the same people that are complaining, are the very ones that go to the polls on election day and cast votes to either elect, or to re-elect a professional politician. Go figure. Yes, we have a percentage not paying into the system, but that is basically through no fault of their own. No one wants to be poor, dependent, living on the streets and in shelters, eating out of trash cans, and enduring misery and pain every single day. Believe it or not, everyone would like to be multi-millionaires, living in mansions, driving Bentleys, and eating high on the hog and drinking expensive wine. But, our government has created the dependency via anti-America legislation and policies. We often blame the wrong ones, misunderstand what happened and how it happened, and expect things to change even though we continue to do the same things expecting a different result. Don't blame the poor and less fortunate, blame those that created the situation. Our political machine along with The Washington Brotherhood is the problem, yet voters continue to feed the monster.I support anyone that is pro-America. I support anyone that believes in rights, freedom, liberty, justice, and a truly representative government seated in Washington. I support all that want justice to mean justice, freedom to mean freedom, and those that believe that the government should always act in the best interest of this nation and her citizens. I am totally against an anti-America government, such we have now, and have had for many decades now. I am totally against anti-America representatives seated in Congress. I am totally against political labels that divide us. I believe that the only label we should claim is "AMERICAN". I believe that we should be Americans for America. Division has destroyed us. Division gives the Washington Brotherhood power. The enemy of anti-America politicians is a united citizenry. As long as they can keep us divided, they win, we lose. I am very much for a government that protects and serves the citizenry, and only serves the citizenry. I am for a government by the people, and for the people. I am totally against a government by the rich and powerful, for the rich and powerful. By the way, what you're calling "free stuff" is paid for by taxpayers. That includes those that pay sales tax, and any other tax. Even those receiving some form of government assistance, are paying into the system each time they make a purchase. The government collects money from taxpaying citizens, so that money belongs to taxpaying citizens. Had you rather see foreign governments get it? Had you rather it spent on the care and support of illegal immigrants? Had you rather it continue to go to rich farmers and big oil? What about continuing to supply weapons to drug lords and terrorists? What other ways would you like to see the government spend your hard earned tax dollars?"What real solution would there be?". Thanks for asking. As I have said, written about, mentioned, and preached for many years now, the solution is to convince, beg if necessary, voters to STOP electing and re-electing professional politicians to serve in government. Remember, professional politicians are all about egos, greed, self-service, power, and climbing the political ladder at all cost. Once elected to office, they exert their will, and not the will of the people. Professional politicians are bought and paid for. We have a Lobbyist controlled U.S. Congress, and an oval office bought and paid for. All of them owe favors. All of them accept money and other favors for their votes on the floors of Congress. Honesty and politics mix like water and oil. The voting public could send a very strong message by writing-in a candidate instead of voting for those that the wealthy, the powerful, and the influential have placed on the ballots. Until that happens, we can all expect the same from government as we're getting now, and have gotten for many decades, through many administrations. As it stands now, the majority of the voting public suffers from "Blind Patriotism", which is a terrible affliction. I can go into more detail if you'd like.I would never ever say that. We should pay for services rendered. I'm against "FREE" everything. But, health care has gotten way too expensive for all but the very wealthy to pay all out of pocket. I would never ever say that the government should run any public program or service. We are already damaged enough by government intervention and regulations.
Health care became too expensive exactly because of government involvement. And the government solution to keep the price low is more government involvement.
So, if we are, as you say, "damaged enough by government involvement", what the real solution would be?
Some people love free stuff. Some people love honesty.
Those who love free stuff will keep voting for those who are promising them free stuff.
Based on what you wrote, you prefer honesty. You want career politicians out of office. You want liars out of office too. Only group that doesn't fit in what you just described above are teapartiers. So, do you support them?
You probably know that when is say "free stuff" means it's free for those who consume it. OK, lets go back to the "necessities".
We're told we owe something to those who don't have it, whatever it is, or we're worthless. If we don't give them that, whatever it is, system is gonna take it anyways. It's a system which is breeding hatred and malice to both our peers and our "representatives". We're told we have moral obligations... and we're lied to. America became one giant credit card in hands of politicians where only about a half of us is getting the bill.
