If we would just end the food stamp program there would be ZERO people on food stamps!

Food stamps and welfre are cheap.. And people really do need them. No one becomes a millionaire from scammong that system.

Go after low hanging fruit.. Medicare fraud costs us billions every year and its educated people that would otherwise be well to do stealing the money.

no it's not. At the beginning the cost may be cheap, but when you subsidize something, you get more of it

When you get more of it, than the costs for it ruse, no longer becoming so cheap

eodoil does mot address the illegality of the system nor the fact that the money to run this illegal system requires government to steal from citizens thus making the system immoral as well as illegal

When you offer someone free food, free health care, free housing, free utilities, why are you surprised when they sit back and enjoy it (or work under the able so they keep their freebies).

People seem to work in Germany and they have UHC.


I am not sure employment works the way you think it does.

poeple allow the government to tax them to death, it is so bad there is thriving black market of Germans asking troops who are exempt from the German VAT and other taxes to make purchses for them


the average net salary for a German is usually 10-15% less than their US counterpart and there is no way to opt out

Germans have compulsory military conscription, something that dies not exist here in The US

The cost to the German individual for all these government perks is to be a share cropping slave to the state

And while some here might embrace such a miserable existence, the feeling is not universal

That has nothing to do with it being bad, people do that in every country where it's possible. That's human nature, take advantage of a system whenever you can. It would be like that no matter which system was in place, government or private.
