I thought it pretty much hits the nail squarely on the head.Congressional aides: Budget deficit to hit $1.5 trillion

Since the mid 60's we have spent $16 Trillion on means tested government giveaway programs. We are now $14 Trillion in debt and have 43 million people on food stamps, over 40 million kids getting free school lunches, 9 million more on WIC, about 8 million in subsidized housing, 71 million households not paying taxes because of EITC and the Child Tax Credit and about 49 million on Medicaid. Does anybody really think more debt or more taxes to pay for more giveaway programs is really going to help anything? How can a tax system be called "fair" when 47% of households are getting a free ride on the backs of the 53% who are paying income tax and carrying their own weight in society? What part of that is fair? If you pay people to be poor, they will be poor. If you pay them to have more kids than they can afford, they will have more kids. They know that as soon as they can say "in need" and "at risk" they will qualify for the money that somebody else expended a part of their life earning. Why should they be responsible when they can qualify for somebody else's earnings? This is just plain wrong and there is nothing fair about it. And no - I am not wealthy, just sick and tired of paying other people's bills.
