It's all about creating dependence on the government. Our globalist politicians and trans-national companies are successfully lowering our standards of living to the rest of the world via Free Trade, unchecked immigration, and the media.
It seems as if one is rewarded for fucking up in the US nowadays.......bad business? Get a bailout with no strings attached. Terrible governmental performance? Lifetime Congressional or Senatorial position. Have a brood of children at the poverty level? Free housing, healthcare, and food. Got yourself a house that you couldn't afford? Stay in your house anyway, and wait for that fat check from uncle sam to arrive to bail you out. Things in general not going your way? No problem, just call up a lawyer and claim your were discriminated against.
It seems those that are irresponsible or try to place themselves as some sort of societal victim get rewarded, whereas those that try to do things the right way see nothing but higher taxes, increased crime, inflation, a crashing dollar, decreased property value, and decreasing job prospects. But hey, as the European Socialists tell us, those are GOOD for us!
