[QUOTE="TedKennedy, post: 3593853, member: 25419"] You'll never hear me advocate for taxes going to welfare or SNAP. "saving one great mind" sounds good, but not at the expense of a free society. Our government: A. Wages "war" on drugs -incarcerating more people for non-violent crimes than any other country. (meanwhile the CIA and other government groups have been caught dealing drugs) B. Deems someone a felon for mere possession of substances, thereby making that person extremely challenged in finding a job and becoming a productive citizen. C. Subsidizes bad behavior - unwed mothers, unemployed, underemployed workers. The "safety net" hasn't kept great people from failing, it's created a system where failure is ok. D. Has eliminated many of the privacy rights Americans should expect, resulted in blatant theft by law enforcement, and - the biggest drug pushers of all - the pharmaceutical companies - operate with the protection of "our" government forces - the biggest cartel in the world. I did a lot of stupid crap when I was young, most folks do. I knew good and well if I didn't hold a job and take care of myself, no one would do it for me, and I'd be shunned by my own family if I didn't. Now we have generation after generation of welfare families (matriarchal, of course) - drugs are everywhere, every behavior is acceptable, and Uncle Sugar will provide housing and sustenance no matter what. Eliminate the safety net, restore freedom to fail, and prepare for the wailing and gnashing of teeth. It WILL come to this one day, simple economics should tell anyone that our current monetary system won't allow this to continue. Might as well get it done now. [/QUOTE]
