Very good post, GladesGuru, I totally agree.
Thank you. I wish that you had been able to find hard data to refute my post - alas, the world (and people) doesn't seem to work that way.
This is one area in which I wish I were wrong. But, as Rep. Davy Crockett said - "Government can not do charity."
He understood why the Founders carefully chained government. To loosen those chains is most unwise, as we are finding out.
