Please don’t tell me social programs aren’t necessary. They are. It’s just a question of how much, to whom and why.
I love to hear people complain about somebody collecting unemployment, then defend multimillion dollar bonuses for guys who ran a company into the ground!!! All of which is being paid by our taxes.
Hell, at least the person collecting unemployment paid into it. These guys on Wall St are getting rewarded for failure.
Don’t let me get started about how people don’t like the cost of going to a doctor, meanwhile I live around the corner from a guy who made $15 million last year because he could hit a baseball out of the ballpark. He’s scheduled to make $20 million next year.
I just tell people next time they’re sick go knock on his door.
Why is this guy making so much? Because of television commercials that people watch during the game. It’s one reason I stopped watching professional sports on television.
Then there are those in this forum who are always complaining about government abuse of whatever. Yet, when I urge them to contact their representatives and the White House about one of the most blatant scandals regarding voting rights, the abuse of power and the Justice Dept ever, they post pictures of a cat sticking its tongue out.
That is where charity comes in. There is NOTHING in the United States Constitution that authorizes tax money being confiscated from person A to be given to person B as welfare, healthcare or any other social services...
“These guys on Wall St are getting rewarded for failure.”
and they shouldn’t.
