You don't think the socialist entitlement programs create a dependancy
by destroying personal initiative?

Take a tour of any of the socialist countries in Europe and ask the
taxi driver why he doesn't do something else. (this is the job the
government says I have to do). Why he doesn't go and get his own taxi.
(the government owns the all the taxis).

Look at those countries and see who has the freedoms we enjoy in this
country.

It's the elitists who run the government.

You don't think people like John Kerry, Bill Clinton, Howard Dean, Ted
Kennedy and Hillary Clinton are the same as those elitists?

They have one goal. One purpose. To gain and/or maintain their power.

How do they do that?

By keeping their constituents dependent upon the entitlements THEY can
hand out.

If that wasn't so, surely they would have designed these programs to
really HELP those in need. The fact is, they're not designed that way
and they don't work that way.

Turn a blind eye to the slavery that these people in need have been
sold into is you wish. Unless you're one of the elistists, if you just
sit by, buy their lies, and let them get away with it, you'll end up
one of the slaves as well.

What a total crock of ****!
I am not on the public dole.
I have been - when the need was there.
Otherwise I have pulled my weight and have paid my taxes so that others in
need could be helped!
Close to me are several people who are not able to cope with life without
social assistance.
Their needs are varied - from physical disabibities stemimng from work
related injuries to physical and mental disabilities from birth.
I would rather live in a society that takes care of these people than the
dollar-first uncaring system that the USA exemplifies.
In fact - taking care costs less in the long run than ignoring the problem!
Any minor exploitation of this sort of system is just that - minor.
Scammers sometimes get caught. So what?
The good outdoes the possible bad.
It is just a matter of administration - cheap at half the price.
Anyone saying different is scamming for their own interests.
The least of our society must have hope.
Without that we do not have a society!
We have a jungle.

Ken.
