Taxes should be there to cover the cost of those who need it most, not protect those who make the most money
And it is there to help those who need it the most, but many people abuse the system as well. What we need is a cap on welfare services provided to the "poor" in this country. Also, the definition of poor in this country is considered wealthy in other countries around the world, so to all those people that live in a government subsidized housing that drive $20k cars and have two TVs, they shouldn't be living in that housing. The government should be regulating the welfare state heavily, going into the government's homes and checking to see what the **** those people are spending all of our tax dollars on. If it's on unnecessary ****, then screw them, cut off the funds. But then people will scream racism. The Dems love that word.
Who would make more money? The government? If it's privately controlled then it can go into someones pocket. And pharm companies are corrupt, that's why all medicine should be one standard, low price, like in England. There is no need to make money off the sick.
If there is no incentive to make money off of pharmaceuticals, who the hell is going to keep coming up with different antibiotics and medicines to cure people? You think people will do it for free? If that were the case, the plague would still be killing millions of people each year and the average lifespan would be 35 years of age in America. Greed is what allows you and I to live such a great life in this country. Greed is what drives competition, leading to lower costs of products. EAS was one of the first supplement companies, and now look how many there are? Creatine is cheap as **** due to abundance of it. GREED is what drove more and more people to get involved in the supp industry (as with every other industry in this world in which competition exists), thus lowering prices for all of the supp whores here and on other forums. So I'm very happy and fortunate that we live in a society of greed.
Democrats are evil too. The problem isn't the bank issues. It's the bigger picture that so many people have questionable credit because the system is making impossible for them not too. My problem is that the Repulicans consistently try to ease the taxing of those who can afford it, rather than taxing them more to help those who need it.
The Republicans want lower taxes for everyone, not just the rich. You put money back into the hands of the people, it creates more money back into the economy, thus creating more jobs, which in turn brings more money, etc. It's a cycle. Do you really want to give 35-50% of your hard-earned money to the government, so they can fund some illegal woman's 10 kids, of which she receives a larger check every time? That's why you see these non-English speaking Mexican women walking around with 7 kids in the grocery store, and how do you think they pay for all of those groceries? Yep, you and me.
That's the problem
Humans are usually competitive. Competition has been working well for this country up until now. Why would you want to change that? Do you actually think the government will do something worthwhile with the money you give them, except for maybe the DoD? Name one thing the government has done that the private sector couldn't do more efficiently and a better job.
