and as for my earlier statement about feeding the people that wont work.
i'm not saying send them to a fancy resteraunt every night, make 'em stay at a penthouse, buy 'em a rolls royce.
i'm talking REAL BASIC necessities. something to surivie, something to get by. if they want any luxuries, make 'em work for it. just keep 'em alive, that's the welfare i want for the people that wont work.

Dude - this is not a welfare state. Some of the more liberal democrats would like to make it a welfare state but they haven't succeeded yet! Hopefully they never will. We do not live in a socialistic society and hopefully never will. Areas where even limited socialism are perevalent see a decline in services and a drastic increase in taxes - ask the Canadians abot their health system. In the Scandanavian countries where they have socialized everything their taxes are astronomical. Somewhere you have to decide - are you working for yourself - or are you working so others don't have to.
