dobs... I totally agree w/you.
but the other diff. of this country to the third world country is that there is an uncomparable economy. In the U.S. - you do have the chance to provide for yourself - your family etc. This country allows you the freedom and the opportunity - this is something I truly believe in.
I think alot of our money should really goto education. People should be taught how this economic system works (and not how to manipulate it).. but how to start their own business, or how to invest their earnings etc.
... and yes - there are always going to be those that 'by circumstances' aren't able to use the opportunites afforded many of us. There should be a plan to take care of those - but more importantly, to educate them and show them how they in turn can take care of themselves if given the right aid at the beginning.
I'm not a fan of relying on others as you probably have noticed by now. :) But there have been times where I needed the help to get to the next step and really appreciate what was done for me... but always relying on the 'next step' to be given is irresponsible. Thus, my desire for education - not mountains of my earnings being 'held' for me by the gov.
