Welfare is a good thing but American's are always concerned by somebody else getting something that they're not.
You don't understand us at all then.
A good 50% of America, really more than that but I don't have the numbers on hand, is on the take. The stupidest among us of course, our trailer trash, our inner-city welfare familes, our retirees, our unions, pretty much everyone that isn't a capitalist, is on some significant form of Welfare here.
We're as socialistic as your society, taxed even more. It's just not an income tax... We get taxed on all kinds of things we don't even know what half of them are!
What you're hearing from americans however isn't the lazy masses. You must have heard from the few americans that are tired of being
TAXED OUT THEIR PECKERHOLES to pay for the majority of lazy slobs in this country.
We Libertarians take it even further than that and feel it is
UNJUST to rob Peter to support Paul's stupid habits. And we're fucking right.
If the state could work on a non-negotiable fee for services rendered, instead of forcing tax out of everyone, then far more goodness would exist.
Sure, you might think there would be no nice roads and fire departments if we could choose to pay that fee or not; but then again, do you really think that the vast majority of us wouldn't pay it? Because until it gets that dire, that would raise more money for social services than we are raising now because the majority here do NOT pay taxes and in fact are the recipients of our money instead!
Consider this your introduction course to America.
For our next class, we'll talk about the American Dream and how it's now located in China.
