Of course --- I believe the self-reliant type in Sri Lanka who owns his own home, earns money to meet his expenses and has a little left over to save is less in poverty than your welfare queen who may look very properous but is only prosperous due to wealth redistribution. One is a productive working self-sufficient type, the other is a parasite living off the labor of others. Only a Marxist could believe that wealth redistribution programs actually create real wealth.

We agree then.

Welfare queens are a plague on the US.

They should be cut off from taxpayer dollars.

Right?

The problem is that the self-reliant type in Sri Lanka doesn't pay US taxes. He doesn't:

Have his car repaired in American shops
Buy groceries in American markets
Use and pay for US utilities
Buy his home from an American
Buy his gas from an American service station
Get his clothes cleaned in an American cleaning service
Eat in American restaurants
Buy clothes from an American retailer
Pay American state land taxes
Buy his car from an American dealership
Deposit in American banks

Whereas the man he replaced in America did. And even the welfare brood mare does. Not that I'm for redistribution of wealth; I'm for the people in America having the wealth the government wants to distribute.
