It's frustrating to see the amount of welfare in my area. For every 100 people who receive public asst. only 80 really need it. In our area it's a Generational Poverty. Welfare Breeds Welfare. When I was growing up I had some friends who were poor and on public assistance, but they worked hard in school, played sports, had jobs and went off to get a college education.
That doesn't happen as much anymore. As a teacher I see a lot of bad parenting. Scum of the Earth who had no business reproducing. These are the people who are costing us a ton of money. And to think the Dems wanted them to get the same tax rebate as the working class?

I think this is a common mistake made by the middle-class.They are within eyeshot of the poor etc. So,they are more of an observable problem for them.I'm not saying it's not a problem,but it's not the reason the middle-class struggles.Let me ask you something.Do successful singers have a unique ability to share? Are they "special" in production of something of value? Answer=yes.......Do rich sports stars have unique talent that produces something of great value? Can they do something actually unique? In other Woods is Tiger Woods "special" or outstanding compared to the rest of society? Answer:yes............One could make a case why these people have so much versus the average person(the middle-class.)Now,you saw this guy Romney last night,or you've seen him.Do you see anything unique about this individual's talent? He is just a conservative guy,right? What he says is pretty much what any conservative guy would say.He smiles a lot.He dresses well.Seems clean etc.Do you see any special talent here? Aren't there people who talk better when giving speeches or being funny? Yes...Where is the incredible talent that is so unique? Being smart is not uncommon...If you think he is smart,I guarantee you plenty of people could make whatever smart decision he may have made.I am not trying to single him out.There are many,many people like this.My point is that "managers" are not unique in talent.Somehow they are rewarded as if they have unique talent.This is the reason the middle-class struggles.As a society we pay people like this (with no unique talent) hundreds of millions of dollars.Money that could go to people that actually do the work(the middle-class.) These people keep the regular guys wages low,and their own wages incredible.Then they complain they are taxed too much to pay for programs.The same programs that had to be started because they wouldn't pay people,or because they got rid of people's jobs(so they could sell their stock at a higher price.)
