What Do You Think You'd Change?

I wanted to be a bad guy. A lot of kids are afraid of them! Also, if you're in a total body costume, you have a 15 minute appearance, then a 10 minute break. It goes like that all day!

Come visit my neighbors awhile. You wouldn't think there were too many misconceptions then.

I only say it because I know it to be true. People abuse the system WAY TOO OFTEN.

I have the same contempt for the state spending $15 on a box of pencils. Our taxes dollars pay for just about everything. And it is all kinds of taxes: snack taxes, gas taxes, cigarette taxes, booze taxes, etc.

I find myself having a hard time feeling contempt for the people IN the system and not contempt for the people that allow it. After all, they are not doing anything to assist these people become functional, productive people either.

Oh I know. The whole issue just makes me sick. It's a cycle that probably will never end.

Hopefully it can be improved. In CA, you now have to pay back all the benefits you receive and your limit on welfare is 5 years. Which still does not address putting uneducated people back into the non-existent work force.

At least it's limited and they have to pay it back. People who want to get an education will. People who don't, won't no matter what resources they have before them.

I think Australia should get rid of the emissions tax. We will not actually significantly reduce the amount we use, the government is just using another excuse to steal more of OUR money
