Do you actually think those who don't work can continue getting their freebees if taxpayers don't continue to work and make money? Where will the money come from?
I guess I should have stated that we didn't get any more help than others in this country.
And taxpayers like myself and others sustain them. Remember, about 50% pay NO federal income tax. That is not sustaninable.
There are plenty of social safety nets, in fact, to the point where we are disincentivizing work. On top of that, we have this false idea that we can provide help for anyone and everyone that walks into our country.
I realize this, but what protections do these people not have?
What policies would those be?
Socialism does not work, particularly in a society with as many diverse thoughts as we have in the US. Countries like Finland, that is often used as a model for leftists in the US, are very homogeneous. It is quite ironic that the left pushes diversity in the US which is exactly what will NOT work in the method of government they promote. Socialism and it's close cousin, Communism, require like minds(group think), which is exactly why children are indoctrinated from birth in Communist countries.
