The Contrarian Strikes Yet Again...……..
For analytical thinkers only, if people were more responsible & accountable, there would be less social & welfare programs. Regarding the issue of social security, if people wisely invested & saved their monies, there wouldn't be a need for social security. The government has no place in affairs which people can handle themselves-this includes health care. The government should be as streamlined as possible. The government should enforce laws & standards. The government doesn't exist to take care of people who ought to be able to take care of themselves & their families. If people took care of themselves & be more responsible, governmental social, welfare, & health programs would be at the minimum level(for truly indigent people through no fault of their own or for those who fall on temporary hard times). Do you agree w/this premise?
