Reply to "President Obama's tax cuts/increases"

Larry,

Stop believing everything you read, it's a government conspiracy! Love you to death man, but your political views border on communism.

People need to take a hard look at other countries, their government and tax structures and how well off their citizens are. Better still go experience some of that then come back and tell me the America Dream isn't alive and kickin'. And yes I've lived on 4 continents and physically worked in excess of 10 Countries.

The welfare state system ultimately fails, as a few have to work to feed and support the masses. Uneducated immigrants flock toward a better life (read: easy handouts) and before you know it your tax dollar is supporting Snr Gomez or Mr Singh and each of their 25 kids and extended family.

Part of the reason I got out of the UK was I got fed up with seeing all the surf bums living on the dole, surfing and smokin' weed all day every day on my tax dollar. If that weren't enough the Country opened the flood gates for every immigrant man, wife, extended family & dog to come and get free benefits in the name of shared wealth'. Well the UK is totally f*%$#d in my opinion and I see the same pattern evolving here.

Of course everyone who wants a free ride is going to advocate the welfare state/share the wealth policies. On the other hand those that still believe in the true American Dream will continue to see that the 'equality' this country offers is in the equal opportunity for everyone....but you gotta get off your ass and do something to make it happen....if you don't want to do that then don't come to me looking for handouts.
