Do you really think if there were plenty of jobs that people getting a free ride would go to work? Why would they do that? If you didn’t strive to be a better, more productive part of society wouldn’t you just sit on your a** and live a “free” mediocre life? The US government has produced a 100 million + lazy bums! I’ts time to cut them off completely! I would hate to see people die on the street but if your cut off, and that doesn’t give you any incentive to get to work, then die on the street!!!!

[...] With over half of all Americans benefiting from government largess, it was hard not to see this coming. One would have to have put blinders on, covered one’s ears and said, “La la la, there’s no fiscal crisis!” As somebody once said, “A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largess from the public treasury.” Whoever said it, it has happened, and now we all get to witness its collapse. [...]

We are becoming a welfare state mostly because our foreign trade policies have encouraged our own industry to move out of America. Along with the industry went the jobs which allowed American workers to be financially independent and prosperous. This was no accident! The power mongers of the world want a one world government in which there will be no liberty. America has always been the champion of freedom and we must be brought down for their plans to succeed. Stop causing poverty by not supporting domestic industry. “America First” has become politically incorrect. Most poor people in America only want a good job, not a hand out. Our education system has been degraded to the point that our children are not prepared for the few jobs that do exist. Illegal workers have taken construction jobs from Americans who once had a good living. People over 50 are fired from their jobs for trumped up reasons and end up working at minimum wage. Could you live on a part time job for $5.15 per hour? Once workers had health insurance from their employers witch covered most medical cost and high enough wages to pay the rest. Our country has lost all equity. If we regain our honesty and integrity and get over the ME FIRST attitudes, we may still have a chance. Don’t begrudge the disenfranchised a meal. Correct the problems that have reduced hard working Americans into beggars! Many Americans have taken improper advantage of the system. Most of them are NOT poor. Climb down out of your ivory towers now or soon they will fall while you are still pointing fingers.

I am a single mother who was once married and my husband left me and two children to survive on our own. He still does not pay child support to this day. I was forced out of survival to grab on to the programs that the govt. has to offer. I STILL work part-time and try to grow a business I started out of desperation. Even though I am recieving medical and foodstamps, I am still against the way the govt runs it. Because I work I get less benefits and am denied certain benefits. They reward the lazy and it should be the other way around. It should be: “You can’t recieve full benefits for ANYTHING unless you are handicap. perm or temp.” You will recieve benefits ONLY if you work otherwise. Over 40% of that 52% are able-bodied individuals…believe me…I’ve been in the same lines with them at the welfare office…they do it because they can. I did it because I had to and I wish the govt would give me help finding a better job or supplying me with income and money for school at the same time. We could eliminate lazy persons from abusing the system and our country would get stronger financially because of it. “God helps them who help themselves” Why doesn’t our govt believe this? Were we not founded on Christian beliefs? Where did we go wrong by straying from that?

Yeah, I was going to say, I thought thatâ€™s what the FSP was supposed to be. You’re way off. The Free State Project is meant to try to get government out of people’s lives by getting a lot of people who are not so progovernment to move to New Hampshire.

I’ve been searching for Galt’s Gulch since I read about. I think it’s in New Hampshire somewhere…
