IMHO, until we get rid of the 16th & 17th, ANY entity that receives taxpayer (gov’t) $$ loses their ability to vote and/or ‘donate’ to the political process...and make the penalty HURT and hurt HARD.
All too often the crony capitalism is just as bad, if not worse, than the leech class. At least in this way, they may get something, but there’s no giving back.
It’s been my thought, if you can’t pull the lever (or a new ‘drain’ on the system), you should have NO input in the system. No commercials, no ads, no print, no NOTHING.
Remember, it’s just not the American born bums and leeches ...it’s also many, many foreign born bums and leeches who are slithering into this country by the boatload, every single day. Their #1 priority is to get on welfare, asap ...so they can “make it” here.
We support them, and then we support their parents, and their grandparents, aunts and uncles.
I see it every single day in healthcare. All they do is flash the Medicaid card and they’re “in.”
I agree; we have a self-perpetuating “government class” that is paid by the taxpayers to either work or not work, and they are strong enough to continue voting themselves increasing shares of taxpayers’ incomes. Here in NJ (and probably throughout the northeast, as well as CA) that mentality has driven away our best & brightest companies & talent. It has reached a point where the welfare/workfare mechanics has to be nationalized by the Dems to entitle the NJ & CA “government class” to incomes of people in TX and NE; hence we have Medicare’s prescription drug plan, ObamaCare, etc.
