Eliminate the poor and give more power to the rich?
I think you’re full of shit. I’m sure there’s just as good an argument for Rubio’s proposals as there are against them. I’m tired of people demonizing successful people. It’s not the rich people’s fault the poor people are poor.
I couldn't agree with you more.
I think we've let our emotions and empathy blind us to the simple fact that we cannot afford to spend at the current rate that we are doing.
-the welfare state has simply grown too large and those individuals that solely rely on it have to be held somewhat accountable for their personal level of consumerism(spending on non-"needs") and their penchant for not saving enough for throughout their lifetime.
I'd love to provide healthcare, elderly care, and all types of benefits to all of our citizens but our tax revenue may need to stay up
(tax cuts may not be a great move if there isn't an increase in these corporations investing in themselves and hire)
AND
our spending needs to be lowered
(the welfare state is quite large and Medicare/Medicaid are, by far, the largest expenses of the federal budget.
NOT at the fault of the rich but rather a lot of it is the lifestyle that many have chosen.
(smokers, overweight people, and most with unhealthy habits, also tend to be those who are less affluent and on the lower end of the socio-economic spectrum)
good job in taking notice of this and realizing that there are reasons behind everyone's disposition (even "little Marco" has his reasons haha)
