The difference is, corporations hire people based on profit and loss. Governments just take money and dole it out based on their political viability - whatever it takes to stay in power. There is no system as ridiculus as handing over all of your money to a government and hoping they'll take care of you. The individuals doling out the money will be the only ones who are wealthy. Any trend toward such a government needs to be resisted.

As far as the birth rate, for a society to sustain itself, there needs to be 2.1 people per couple. If a society doesn't maintiain this factor, that society/culture will die out. If our culture is not worth saving, then by all means, we should abort our future and immigrants will bring thier culture in to fill in the gaps.

I'm for immigration and welcome all those yearning to be free. Bring the best from your country and live free! I happen to think the US is the world's best chance for freedom, so I would like to see the American dream continue on.
