Man,don't even get me started on entitlements,I have someone very close to me,that flat out refuses to work.Between all the entitlements,ya know,he doesn't have to.The wife and I get so angry over this stuff,but then at some point,you say to yourself,who's the fool? Now imagine fostering this way of thinking 10 fold by the policies comming out of washington.Leaves no incentive to make more money,because they will slap you back down with more taxes,while the moron who doesn't work,is sitting on his couch playing video games.This is why welfare is generational,and why your healthcare costs are what they are.

Well, healthcare, yes. but really everything. I don't pretend to understand it all, but I guess tuition is one I'm experiencing with 2 in and 2 on the way. "Free Ride" scholarships are sponsored partially by donations, but you can bet a portion of the tuition rates and fees are inflated to cover freebies. And food stamps, electrical rate reductions, property tax abatements, etc. all come out of our pockets one way or another to subsidize the recipients.

I don't really mind giving charitable donations as I know there are people truly in need out there, but I RESENT the politicians have the ability to raid my wallet to give subsidies to those who reward them with the vote.
