It's just free food.
It's just a free place for them to live.
It's just free healthcare.
It's just welfare.
It's just a free phone.
It's just free college.
It's just free internet.
It's just some disaster relief money.
The list just goes on and on. They just don't seem to realize that all these "benefits" add up to huge burdens. Maybe they would have more of an appreciation for it if they saw the government skimming 40% off of the top of every paycheck like I do.
Well maybe if the private sector offered a comfortable living condition like the past, we wouldn't be looking to the government to do something about how difficult it is becoming to make ends meet in the USA.
I agree it's not the governments place to provide much of this stuff to most people. I think it's in the best interest of this nation, however, to have the best quality of life we can - and to foster a private sector which can provide that.

Best quality of life for who? Why should someone else get a better quality of life at the expense of my quality of life?

Ever think that maybe businesses get away with not offering "comfortable living conditions" because the public has government there to subsidize their way of life?

As a conservative, of European descent , I support working people earning a comfortable living and even unionizing as a private sector solution to negotiating with an employer. But people should work and negotiate with their employers. They shouldn't have the government subsidize them (and their employers) with tax payer's money.
Considering that our government spends about 50% more per year than it has in income, one day the bill will come due and there will be no one to pay it. There is little difference between our country and Greece, just a matter of scale. We need adults in charge that will quit handing out taxpayer dollars and mortgaging our future to buy votes. Not Dems or our current crop of Repubs.

You think businesses will start paying more if our government removed its social safety nets? Keep dreaming.
