I cannot find fault with any of your statements. Isn't it interesting that when the dialog trancends the partisan BS some actual ideas can be exchanged. And you're right in that the system has been abused along with the taxpayer. The horror stories about the folks milking the welfare rolls for generations are founded in fact. It makes many taxpayers rebellious and overly self-rightious in many cases. The Republican party I once thought I knew and the Democratic party too, have strayed from their basic planks. In times past the dems leaned a bit socialistic and Gop leaned a bit the other way. Both tried to do what was best for America. NOW they seem more interested in doing what's best for the party or the clowns representing the party. Ah well, comes the revolution.
