Yet those on welfare with their many programs combined already have a higher standard of living than families living on $56,000 a year.
I've been saying it for years: our relatives who didn't study in school, never advanced their education, worked as little as possible, and had kids they couldn't afford have a MUCH higher quality of life than my husband and I, who have worked 80 hours a week going on 30 years now.
Why? The great equalizer of taxes.
Will this continue in future generations? No way. Our generation's members were the ultimate brainwashed suckers. We gave all to our employers and Big Government, and these institutions decided to rob us of everything and leave us with nothing. Already Big Businesses see the writing on the wall, and know that future generations can only be asked to work about 30 hours a week, and must be paid twice what we get or they won't work at all. It is incredibly discouraging to be in these high-level meetings, and to know that OUR generation will continue to be worked 80-hours a week until we die. When we are all gone, things will change. But Big Business won't change until every last one of us is worked into an early grave, and they'll be reducing our compensation every step of the way.
Which is why I recommend that every workaholic productive American GO GALT at the earliest possible moment. We can't win the games of Big Business and Big Government, but we can stop running the world and allowing a few unethical scumbags to reap all the rewards. So stop being suckers. Barter, trade services, and ignore the parasites who would bleed you dry. A healthier society is on the way, as long as Libertarians get together and protect themselves from the powers that would enslave them
They are choosing to keep their services and tax to cover shortfalls.
We'll see how it works out.
We know how it works out-- how it always works out. Businesses, and those with the means to flee, flee. Then at some point down the road they will be forced to make even bigger cuts than they would have to make if they made the hard decisions today. Of course the politicians that get the blame for it will be different ones than are in office today and that is why this sort of thing happens. Then 10 years later when memories fade they will do it all over again.
