Dude the rich abuse the system too, and alot of them are also lazy.Just trying to everyone to pay the fair share according to income level. There will always be people take advantage ,rich and poor, And leaders get corrupt too so thats why we need more controls on things. can't punish the good cuz of a few bad.

Yeah I understand what your sayin, and your right. People will always try to work harder to have what they want, but its the people now that don't work, that live on welfare, that will have a better life, and that's the opposite of the point of welfare. I don't know about you, but Ive known more than a few people that took advantage of welfare and the tax payers earnings, and they don't need any more fluff. When I was in school I barely had enough food to survive, nothing like someone pull out an access card and paying for two buggies full of food then filling the back of their caddy full of groceries that part of my paycheck was paying for. If you make it easier for a lazy person to collect, what will their kids do when they have more money then their loser parents. Granted, some people use it for its intended purposes, great, but the majority are leeches.

Ummm, I dont understand your logic???  We will always have inflation, we will always have minium wage jobs. Do you think people are going to be paid for a level other than that which they are qualified for? That's like paying a physician's salary for a janitor. It makes no sense. People will continue to work for what they want. For the quality of life they want. People in general are not looking for a handout., they want to work and they want to be rewarded for their work.
