[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5028988, member: 24302"] Never said any such thing about people collecting unemployment. If they need it they need it. But the government giving them an incentive to stay unemployed while many businesses go begging for workers isn't good for the country. And brother, I sat in the office many times at school because I didn't have lunch money. My mother had a ninth grade education and we lived in 2 rooms of an unfinished house. I worked for $1 an hr at 12 for 35 hrs a week pulling weeds in the Florida sun and have humped ever since. I said enough at 55 and looked for ways to get by without the idiocy. I have no problem with social assistance for those in dire need. You listen to Bacha who like a good communist twists things to attack anyone who believes in capitalism. The only thing in life that truly works is hard work. Even Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk have worked hard to get where they're at. What I object to isn't social services for the common good but rather the false belief that government can create a world where we can all do reasonably well with minimal effort. That's what guys like bacha are after. I've seen the aftermath of socialism gone wild in the former Soviet Union. Because guys like bacha can't help themselves and want to control everything and everyone we may end up like the USSR someday. We're seeing some pretty serious hints at that in our government now. But people have to find things out the hard way and lose decades of progress before figuring it out. Probably killing millions by starvation or war along the way. We're in deep doo doo with the debt now but y'all can't be told any different. It was a great country while it lasted. [/QUOTE]
