You work for your money, you should not have to give it to the government so they can distribute it to poor people that don't work.

Worst was things like the Savings & Loan nightmare where the government took over their loans and mortgages. Even profitable loans were foreclosed and sold off for 10 cents on the dollar. Thank you Reagan for the financial mess. Thank you Nixon for extending the Viet Nam war an extra 8 years. Thank you McCarthy for those "300 Communist"s in the State Department. Thank you Calvin Coolidge & Herbert Hoover giving us the Great Depression. See the trend here? All Republicans.
A lot of people think like Mike. Short sighted greed. How much of the US tax budget goes to the Unemployed? The money that goes into their pockets. Not the administration of it.

Then imagine the problems if you took that money away from them. you would need to spend more on defence from them coming to Mike's house to take what he has. And they have more reason to steal it and guns according to the propaganda. Then what about the places they spend the money, they go bankrupt. The people who are part of the administration, they're out of a job. With no support or do we keep paying them to do nothing.

And why are there so many unemployed in the West? Take the shirt off your back and look at the label and see if it was made in the West. Or just turn your keyboard over.
