Welfare and Government Handouts

After 25 or more years on the job, with someone taking the money from the paycheck, it seems that more people would get upset that welfare and Social Security are being given to those who do not even put into the accounts. This Social Security account was set up for those people for retirement, for when they are finally given a chance to actually retire and even not wealthy, but just to be able to survive. The welfare system of the US should be just for the United States Citizens who have paid taxes into the welfare system.

Millions and millions of people are in this Social Security System trying to be able to retire, be healthy and happy. Each time the review on Social Security rolls around, the retirement age gets higher and higher. When the Social Security system was set up, the ratio was about 30:1, which means that 30 people would be working while one person would be retired. With the Baby Boomers retiring, this equates to about 1:3 which would mean about 1 person working and 3 retired. This has not gotten to this point yet, but there are about 65% of the population that are Baby Boomers.

There are about 17% of the population in schools and not working, about 6-10 % in prisons, 35% on government assistance and 15% on food stamps. The number statistics go up and down the scale with immigrants, non-citizens and fraud. These are alarming numbers of those who are not working and being a part of the society. Those getting food stamps also do not pay taxes on the food they buy, so the ones paying the sales tax rate have to make up for those who do not have to pay the sales tax on food.

The young generations that are working and paying into the systems will be paying for something that they most likely not going to reap till they are very old, if any at all, The generations are dying younger than the previous generations, also.

The 30/70 Rule accounts for almost everything. It relates to about 30 percent of the people working to 70 percent not working. When we look at someone actually doing the physical work, there are countless numbers of people being supported by the actual work. There are supervisors, managers, overseers, governmental agencies, directors, politicians, underage children who do not work, disabled, those in college and don't work, freeloaders, retirees and leeches for that one person actually doing the work.

This 30/70 rule goes for taxes too. About 30 percent of the population pays the way for the other 70 percent of the population. When we think of the people that are not productive, we can see that these numbers are in perspective. The nations of the world have to have taxes to have standing military, water, sewage systems and commerce. There is a small number of companies and individuals that pay the the bulk of what is needed. The politicians, bankers, CEO's and the elite find ways of not paying a comparable amount of taxes through loopholes and advantages. When the people let the politicians make the rules, the corruption and greed take hold and this is allowed happen.

Each time that we hear, "it's for the children", it is not for the children, but it is a RED FLAG that there will be more taxes to pay. Humans seem to be overcomed in the phrase, "it's for the children". It must be instilled into our instinct, being that humans have that connection to the preservation of the human race, except when it comes to abortion.

Abortion seems to have another tone to it. It seems that humans are not to be responsible, can kill other human beings and there are no consequences involved. What humans do, humans can undo, with no harm involved, but this is not being truthful. Humans are OK with taxes for the children, but seem to have no compassion for the unborn children.

So who pays the price? The less of the new population of a nation, the more of a drain on the taxes and resources. There will be less people to take over the jobs that the baby-boomers will be vacating, less skilled employees and more demand on the new generation to sustain the roads, buildings, bridges, infrastructure and the aging population. Concrete starts deteriorating, crumbling and cracking after 60 years or earlier, depending on the grade of cement, sand, crushed stone and water used. If the generations in the future become less populated, who will rebuild, teach the trades and actually keep the infrastructure going?

The aging population have invested into retirement, Social Security and investment programs their whole lives, so when people who have not invested into these programs are allowed to take from them, it will set off a domino effect in which the younger generations will have to earn more, contribute more and wait years later for retirement, or most likely, retirement will be disbanded all together.

Everyone needs help once in a while in life, but there comes a time that giving to someone will tear down the system. The population has grown in the United States and it would be nice that everyone has contributed to the welfare and Social Security Systems of the US, but that is not the case. The non-citizens, who are in the United States illegally, avoid paying state, local, Social Security and Federal taxes. While some of them do work, some find loopholes that they can get Social Security, medicare and other benefits. To make these systems work, everyone has to contribute to the overall plan.

Un-documented people that are in the United States get their money, benefits, medical and food from somewhere. Who is paying for these services and food? While systems are set up for most states to have sales tax. Some who receive EBT payments, child services payments and free school benefits are not paying into the tax system, but using the payouts.

As the population goes down each year, there needs to be more young people paying into the system to keep the nation and the systems afloat. The lawlessness of those coming across the border without documentation means that these people can reap the benefits that were set aside for those who have put in decades of work and money into these programs. What happens when the money is drawn out and not enough money comes in to make the bills of the government and Social Security? It goes belly-up! The systems needs to be corrected now, while the systems still have enough time to correct the plan. On down the road, the workers will most likely refuse to work for 30 percent of their wages while 70 percent goes to fund the ones who won't work. Putting off the retirement age is not the solution because most people will say that if they are going to have to work all their lives, there is no point in investing in the public retirement system.

For all those who think that the United States can take care and feed the world have nice, humanitarian thoughts, but the possibility just does not work. The Americans have gotten to this place in life by working hard, having good work ethics, being productive and not being attacked. Any time that a country is attacked, the lifeblood is severed, the transportation systems have to be rebuilt, the infrastructure has to be reestablished and rebuilt. The farms and neighborhoods have to overcome battle torn land and have to re-established, nurtured and cultivated.

North America has grown great because of people doing great, fighting those who would attack it and for the perseverance of its citizens and the achievements that boosts its economy, military and technology. Men and women have put in 40, 50, 60 and even more than 100 hours a week working to make their families, community, companies and nation safe, strong and secure. They worked hard, have been very productive and most have secured money and wealth for retirement. Why should Americans give up what they have fought for and worked so hard to achieve?

It is one thing to help those in need, but it is another avenue to take what these people have worked all their lives for and give it to someone who just walks in and think that they can get free money, EBT, free health care, free food, free medical, free education and free housing. Each time that someone takes without contributing to the system, this will be coming out of someone's account, tax money or pay raises. Bottom line is that someone has to pay for the benefits, food, clothing, education and medical. The one who pays is going to be the one with money, whether working or not.

Our food supply has been good, always producing more than what is needed for the United States, sometimes even more than what is needed. The question still remains, "can the United States feed the world?". Right now, while everything is good, the US could give a major portion to feed the world, but at what costs? The missionaries, church leaders, disaster planners, F.E.M.A. directors and politicians are all finding out that if people do not have to work for free everything, they will not work. Why should they work when they are waited on hand and foot, served like queens and kings? Why work in the fields, in hot manufacturing plants or doing manual labor when everything is provided to them? It is hurting them to enable them. If they are given everything, then everything looses value, the ones who are working to achieve a status and wealth for themselves looses hope and becomes those who are on the given-free list, if possible. Wealth without work looses value and becomes generational !!
