    Teach a man to fish.

    Stop giving the lazy free handouts and they will learn to work for themselves very quickly if they want to eat!

    If there is a legitimate reason why someone cannot work or take care of themselves, then by all means give him government aid. But the system has gotten so large that many more people abuse the system than actually need the system.

    And you can bet the plutocrats, most of whom seem to live in the USA, will continue to whine that the poor have too much money and the rich don't have enough.

    That is true and I absolutely agree (coming from a country with great social benefits), but it works the other way around as well, unfortunately. You have a lot of people in United States who are in need of help but can't get it because the system is directed that way. So unless you review each case individually, which isn't possible, you're left to offer something that will benefit MOST people. You'll never be able to satisfy everyone and there are people on both sides that abuse the system and take advantage, which unfortunately you can't prevent. With that said, let's not forget that we are all human first and foremost and different things after that.

  5. You are borderline retarded. People like Scrotumphagotos don't contribute a thing to society.

    Never leeched off others a day in his life? Confirmed retard. He leeched off his mother's titty for the first 18 years of his life. You seem to enjoy leeching off his dick.

  6. It is a damn shame to live amongst people so hell bent on their career going thru life wearing blinders. Those are the same people that get promoted and ultimately promote based on individuals that put the company before themselves. Its a bigger shame for someone like me who used to work really hard to get ahead...until...I get sick of the same routine usually 6 months, and realized no exertion will put me in a happy place, no promotion or bonus will change my life... Yeah these are the same people that tell you it's just a job... total b.s.considering you spend half your awake life at this job (and are DIRECTLY contributing to inequality one fuking penny at a time)

    My point is if more people understood that money is the end product (means) not the beginning or goal of life, we could begin to shift this corporate culture that has taken hold in Amurica.

    Do not know about outside the US but inside most of the poor do not know how to save from little earnings they make. You don't save means you don't invest and rest is easy to figure out.

    Only leftist item I would offer is 'free healthcare' for all and that means all, does not matter how much is the annual earnings or networth. A healthy country is a prosperous country and it has been proven across the globe.

    :):D:cool:
