No, I do not believe in full scale assistance for all, but there are those who truly need help through no fault of their own. Obviously, our responses on threads like this ar limited and do not say everything as clearly as we probably would in person, but to dismantle social assistance completely would go a long way in transforming our society back to an almost feudal state with a majority of poor and disadvantaged, and a minority of landholders and decision makers. Then again, that might make some here rather happy.
BTW...Get a copy of the November Scientific American and read the article on page 42, or just go to www.sciam.com/ontheweb a comparison between the economies and services of high income low tax countries and high tax high income countries. You might find it enlightning.
Pray you never become one of the truly disadvantaged in this country.

You can chirp about your socialist delusions all you want, it still doesnt change the fact that it's wrong to steal off citizen A to put food in the mouth of a lazy citizen B.
Theft is theft is theft.
Besides, all those Euro socialist economies are going to start failing in the next 20-30 years anyway as their populations continue to age.
Socialism is evil.
As far as being advantadged/disadvantadged, i grew up in the hood, and EVERYTHING i have i have because I worked for it.
I don't even take advantadge of my veterans benefits becasue- as i said, i simply do not believe in socialism. The United States was founded as a republic, not a socialist state.
It's the dumbocratz that have effectively transformed it from the former, to the latter...starting with your boy FDR.
