Takers will always take. But what happens when there are no more Producers to take from? I guess we'll be getting that answer in the very near future. Third World here we come.
Blame the victim. Funny how Republicans want to cut education then complain about all these uneducated people. Education isn't just math.
You have to invest in America to get a return. Just giving money to rich people won't do it.
We spend more per student than any country in the world on education. The problem isn't that enough money isn't being invested, it's that the money is being squandered on bullshit.
Bullshit usually advocated by the liberals.
When your kid can't tell you why Columbus came to America, but will tell you that he killed the native Americans, you know that that was not money well spent. (Honestly had this conversation with my 14 year old neice.)
When you can't fire a child molesting teacher after 14 years of him collecting a salary for no work, you have to wonder how many other malingerers and non-performers are out there that aren't even being bothered with. Let's keep throwing money at the problem. That'll do it.

Bangor Daily News
discovered that 445,074 Mainers paid state income tax, while 453,194 received some sort of state aid.
In Maine, Medicaid, welfare, food stamps and subsidies for education have a combined enrollment of 660,000.
Adjusting for overlap reduces the number to 453,194 or 8,120 more people on state assistance than there are state income taxpayers in Maine.
Not True: Welfare recipients outnumber taxpayers
Maybe True: Maine has more welfare recipients than income tax payers.
Now you're just choosing not to see...The statistics are being manipulated and misunderstood.
A certain number of people live in Maine.
A certain number of people pay income taxes in Maine.
A certain number of people receive State aid in Maine.
The latter exceeds the former by a certain number... (8120)
FACT: 8,120 more people on state assistance than there are state income taxpayers in Maine."
NO WHERE does it say all people who receive some form of State aid do not pay income taxes. Because in FACT it's not true...The OP is spin with an agenda.
I must have missed the part of the article that said only people who paid no taxes received welfare, while no tax payers received welfare. Could one of you geniuses point that out to me? Thanks.

Thanks for demonstrating how dumb you are.
Next time maybe try reading for comprehension before you get so emotional, retard...
I consider welfare as any government assistance (ex. student loans) for able bodied persons between 18-65. We have a responsibility to care for the most vulnerable citizens (children, seniors, and the disabled). Any entitlement in the form of check, rent, heating, health ins., food stamps, free cell phones, "refundable tax credit", is welfare IMO.
Unemployment and Social Security are insurance programs that have been paid for by the claimants.
But whether or not these people in Maine "deserve" welfare (or UI or SS) is irrelevant. The fact is that the tipping point has been reached. States cannot "print money" and run trillion dollar deficits like D.C.
