And let's just assume all of these "It's not their fault" premises ad arguendo. Why are their problems my problems? Why must I and other taxpayers continue to watch the money I spend in taxes go to solve their problems? Pay their bills? Bail them out? I don't think anyone could reasonably believe that the current federal fiscal irresponsibility can continue indefinitely. But I get to watch as my money is spent on this crap and then I, who will still be gainfully employed for the rest of my life, will get to bear a lot more than my fair share in paying it back. But I guess I shouldn't have a problem with that?
This is stupid. When you do your taxes, do you get a refund of all the money that you've paid out in taxes for the year? If not, why do you mind that it's being used to help people who are in need (I can agree that not everyone who receives assistance needs it for as long as they get it)? As libramunoz stated, you can't force someone to hire you. I comment all the time that companies post jobs (sometimes they stay open for months) but it seems like they never hire anyone. What are people supposed to do? Take to begging in the streets? I hope that you do stay employed for life because if you don't, I hope you'll be just as angry at your self for having to live off of our tax monies.
