While YOU may be realizing higher profits/cost savings by doing so, the costs to the nation as a whole -- “free” healthcare in the local ER, food stamps, the plethora of US welfare benefits, etc., etc., etc ad nauseum – are being passed on to the REST of us in the form of higher property and other taxes

Then END all such programs - take away that incentive. I have no problem with those that want to enjoy our freedoms, I just don't want to support them to the detriment of my family.

Amen!! Been fighting for THAT for 30 years -- with a lack of progress conspicuous by its absence!

Non-discretionary/entitlement (euphemism that) spending has ballooned under Dems and Pubbies to where today it represents over 85% of the budget.

Repeat after me "WE'RE DOOMED!"
