I understand and personally feel for these people and would be right there with them IF... it weren't for the simple fact that while this is a GREAT way to get the government's attention and whatnot but that it is seriously leading down the road to socialism and communism. Pick your preference of how involved the government would be in economics and it's one or the other. If this is a temporary thing and these people would have NO problem paying if the government was doing shit right, then I would completely support them if it ended should their government be fixed. However the idea of things being "free" and "should be" free... yeah no. My family escaped Cuba and moved here to the USA. Like I said... as a protest and with intentions to go back to the normal system of paying for a PRIVILEGE (riding the metro is NOT a RIGHT but a privilege)... then I'm all for this temporary movement. But if this is an idea that somehow these things should simply be PROVIDED TO US for nothing... hell no. Quoting: Liberty87 fucking Americans and their labels |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 11107598 Kind of like the OWS movement here. Once your "drug dealer" (the government) gets you hooked on the freebies....most do not want to break the addiction. Free money is addictive....and the USA is FULL of government crack whores. Obama is also trying to sign up more of them before the election. *** "Obama Administration Offers $75,000 Grants to Sign Up More Food Stamp Recipients" "Despite the historic rise in food stamp use, however, the Obama Administration believes not enough people are receiving food stamps who should be and is offering $75,000 grants to groups who devise “effective strategies” to “increase program participation” among those who have yet to sign up."

But that is to ensure the social programs which increase standard of living for all. Which are being gutted at this juncture. No, they are sick of having their paychecks stolen to taxes and getting little in return while the government does as it will with their money. Sound familiar? We also have to pay incredible amounts for healthcare, but when i get sick and need some specialist, i have to pay them from the wallet. That is THEFT. |
