Understand...?

Pretty simple concept, really.  The government robs you of the fruits of your labors to spend as they please.  They will take as much from you as they want to and, if it isn't enough, they'll take more.  Not a whole lot you can do about it.  They have the power and all of the neat toys.

Admittedly, some of it goes to worthy causes, such as defense, though with all of the questionable games being played today in far off lands, even that is debatable. 

Far too much of it goes to folks (and corporations/businesses) who haven't earned it.  I say eliminate the fucking  welfare unearned entitlements and the leeches will have to either get a job to feed themselves and all of their illegitimate younguns, or they will starve.  Of course they may attempt to rob and steal to get by, but there are solutions for that, too.  Either way, a large part of the problem would be on its way to being solved.

Too many people want the government to take care of every problem for everyone and everything.  I think a majority of these people are folks who aren't paying anything into the public coffers.   They don't understand the concept of earning their own way.

Stay safe.
