Re: DEBATE
Knoxes,<br /><br />I see your point. The government does have a lot of things they do to try and help the economy. However, if people weren't so greedy and willing to step on the less fortunate and abuse them then the economy might not need so much regulation. The government tries not to interfere, but sometimes has to because of greedy people abusing the less fortunate. Believe me, I know I don't have all the answers. I don't think anyone does. It is all guesswork. What seems like it will work for one person may not for another. I kinda have an idea floating around in my head that might help the economy out a little. Now in no way am I a socialist. I believe every american should have the same opportunities in life. Now what if we were to institute some sort of government work program for those people who claim that they can't get a job or are disabled. Now I'm not talking about severely disabled or mentally challenged people, rather those who claim they can't work because their foot hurts or something of that nature. We could make them work for their checks. It doesn't matter what they do, be it picking up trash on the side of the road to stuffing envelopes. Any thing that would get them to be productive. Pay them $7.00 an hour for their work. This sort of thing might discourage the abusers from being couch potatoes and mouching off of my paycheck. It would give them an incentive to get off their butts and make something of themselves. What makes them think that they are better than me. I only make $7.25/hr now part-time because of school and I'm not complaining. There are many, many jobs out there. Albeit, they don't all pay $100,000 a year but they are honest work. I don't mind paying taxes if they are used properly, but when I see my uncle laying on his fat butt all day getting free health care, free medical supplies, and a free disability check just because he's too lazy to get off his fat @#$ and work it makes me VERY ANGRY
. Especially since my mamaw who is in her mid 70's and worked all her life (she was a welder in WWII) can't get the help she needs. I think it might help, but with any government program it would require a lot of planning to get it to work properly and then there still may be problems. It's just a thought. What do y'all think? Do you think it would help?<br /><br />James
