“I’m sure these folks all paid their fair share of taxes...”

We all have. Well, most of us. Most people getting free handouts have paid in something - so they say. Everyone on SSDI claims they have paid in their entire lives so they are just getting what they ‘deserve’.

Some are, some aren’t.

Problem is - if we all got what we have paid in, the system would be broke.

Oh...is it.

Funny how that works.

We have become an entitlement society. And sadly, I think that means there is less available for those that really need it. I have a friend that is a paraplegic. And gets very little assistance. I think there should be more for people like him, and less for those that are able-bodied but pretend not to be. But fraud is rampant.

I have an odd take on this - I think if one is ‘taking’ in order to bring about a faster demise of this country so we can rebuild, go for it! I find that noble. As long as they are willing to work to rebuild it the right away after it all collapses about our ears.

Well, that is the Cloward-Piven theory of societal destruction and I can’t support it.
