I have been converted....everyone off the government dole! I'm not paying any more paying taxes that are spent on other people! No more social security, no more medicare or medicaid, no more vaccination or medical research paid for by the government, no more veterans benefits! No more unemployment payments. I say...private roads, private schools...privatize everything.

I say...let the strong survive and the weak...not my problem!
Ah, I see!!! You long for the good old days back before the great depression!!! That's the way it was back then. Every family had to take care of themselves or die. If you were elderly or disabled, well, if you didn't have a family to take care of you too bad. Just die and get out of the way, eh?
Then the President who promised a chicken in every pot, started work programs where men could get a bit of money from the government BUT they did work for it. Here they even just turned the bricks over in the streets to earn their money. Ahhhh the good old days!!!
