I'm sure there are plenty of people like me who would love to overthrow the government and just start over. Problem is, the government is too powerful to overthrow, and it's become too corrupt to actually change. The people who need to vote for the proper changes needed are the people who are the problem in the first place. I'm a republican, but only because I see them as the lesser of two evils. I personally think both parties should be dissolved. They're both full of corrupt career politicians. I've always been proud of this country my entire life. I've been proud to be an American. If this continued push towards socialism succeeds though, i'll be completely ashamed of my country for the first time. Why did we fight socialism and communism for so damn long in the first place if we're gonna let them win in the end anyways.
Also, the real mafoo is right. Anyone who wants to make their life better can. Not everyone has the drive to do it, or they've already screwed their lives up so much it's too late. I don't understand why you socialists think those people deserve the same benefits as people who actually did something with their lives. People who maybe showed a little restraint, who didn't get pregnant and have 5 children by the time they're 21. People who actually showed enough motivation to go to school and get a degree. Heck, my job doesn't even require a degree and I make more than enough money to support my wife and I. We both have benefits because I work full time. We can afford this because we're not druggies. We're not alcoholics. We run our lives as they should be, instead of however we feel like it. Why do you socialists think everyone deserves the same benefits as me. What incentive do I have to continue to be responisible? Socialism doesn't work because it makes everyone so damn lazy that the society eventually can't support itself.
To quote margaret thatcher, "The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other peoples money to spend.".
