That is like bad mouthing your own family.

Thats a fair trade off. Sure, that sounds like a plan. Worked so great for Russia and Cuba.
Just pointing out a defect in what should be good capitalism. I am not a lefty...far from it..but if I see something amiss on the left or right I will mention it. Most great wealth is accumulated through a combination of hard work...deep desire to succeed and a certain cruelty. I have never met a super rich person who was not slightly cold of heart...My experience consisted of the government crippling me over a tax issue that was not dealt with intelligently or properly...I do resent being screwed while those higher up the food chain are ignored...even if they have obviously done something illegal..I am just poor guy...but I sure would have liked to have kept what I earned.

For those tired of Welfare Cheats and Lazy Do for nothings



I too am sick of them and wish we could close down Congress and force them to get gainful work OFF the public teat. Welfare Cheats in the House of Representatives get $174,000 a year to do pretty much nothing.

I'm sick of those kinds too.




Here's the wrinkle in cutting down on Welfare fraud or benefits.

These women (or girls) who are shacking up refuse to work in order to get their benefits. So their live-ins just do more undercover things in order to make ends meet. So if the live-in boyfriends were already of the criminal element they're just doing more of the same just to make up the money.

So even if you support the crackdown the haves will pay way one or another by being victims of these sort of people.

Conservatives, I hope you're taking note. You may not want to contribute to the social programs but those receiving it may think of alternatives that you won't like either if they're cut off.
