[QUOTE="Savant, post: 165668, member: 546108"] Glad you brought up welfare again.. You complain about 'lazy' people who don't want to work .. so we shouldn't give them anything (which would present a ton of other issues in and of it's self).. But, what about the FACT that our government spends BILLIONS of dollars paing HUGE COMPANIES money ? The gov pays to have them NOT produce certian things.. they pay them when something bad happens to them (corperate farms, for example).. Why is it OK for TAX PAYERS to have their money given to the richest people in the world, but it's not ok to try and help keep the most unfortunate (lets not get into the abuse thing again.. we all agree that there are those out there, the 'spirit' of welfare is NOT for them..) keep from starving to death? The government gives YOUR and MY money to companies in the form of 'subsidies' all the time.. billions of dollars a year.. the top 15 company payments for any given year most likely EASILLY is MORE than what is spent on ALL the welfare for the unemployed/laidoff/permanenly injured/etc etc.. You want to stop welfare.. think it's so bad.. then don't use the argument that it's only "dirty lazy stupid drug-using dirtbags" that 'get welfare'.. cause the richest people in the country get it to.. it's just not talked about as much..
