So lets say qwe pay 100% in taxes, you get to eat and live on the goverments spending. What is you motivation for doing anything?
Democrats rely on buying their control with forcing dependance on the goverment plain and simple, Republicans want the goverment out of the way (or athey are supposed to) and let responsibility fall in the hands of citizens.
As long as you pay people to sit on their ass and be lazy your going to have a lot of lazy people sitting on their ass with their hand out.
Now this is a true story that I witnessed, not second hand.
I am in line at my local grocery store, the lady in fron of me dressed up very nicely is arguing with the girl at the register that some of her items will not allow her to use the food stamp card she has.. so she buys what she can an leaves. I but my stuff and go out to the lot to see this very same lady getting into a Lexus not more than 2 years old.. Now this is when I am working two jobs and driving what many would call a beater around in order to keep my kids in a good school stytem and house. So if you want to talk poverty you can kiss my ass that I am paying for these leeches on society and the Democrats sell this shit for votes.
