[QUOTE="doctordick, post: 199930, member: 2595"] I believe that there has been an effort going back roughly a hundred years to develop in this country a permanent dependant underclass. By this I mean a whole class of people who are so dependant on government that they are locked into supporting politically the people or party which assures their continued handouts. Roughly half of all U.S. workers pay no income taxes at all. Unemployment compensation has been extended to almost two full years. The Agriculture Department runs TV ads encouraging people to get on food stamps. Obama care if allowed to stand will make everyone dependant on government for medical care. Unwed mothers are encouraged to have more illegitimate children by being paid more for each child. Recently, someone posted a Youtube video of a woman bragging about how much money she was getting by gaming the system. I ran into a guy (age 19) at a ride who was apparently healthy and at least reasonably intelligent who didn't work because he got full disability benefits for being "stupid" (his word). The point of all this is that by convincing a great enough number of people that they are minorities that are entitled to handouts, politicians have locked up their votes for whoever promises them the most. Why would Obama hold up the Keystone project which can produce thousands of jobs at no cost to the taxpayer? Why does the left generally favor allowing 12 million illegals to stay here with "a pathway to citizenship"? This is the means by which all dictators throughout history have come to power. They have organized masses of poor, exploited hungry people to put them in power. Since the U.S. developed into the wealthiest country in the world, there has not really been a huge underclass, certainly nowhere near a majority. This has necessitated the artificial development of groups of people who believe they are exploited and entitled to whatever they can take. Can it be turned around? Sure, but it will take time and a whole lot of people who are aware of what's happening and are willing to do something about it. Fed up, blue collar, middle class , gun toting father of two and grandfather of three done ranting. [/QUOTE]
