Default Re: Important Question for George Greene

I am almost ashamed to say this but I must. I was in an auto accident in 1990 that left me paralyzed in 1 arm and below my nipple area. I was fortunate to have been a high school drop out that went back to school in the 80's and got an accounting degree and have been self sufficiant. Although I require home healthcare to get me up and bathed in the morning and put to bed at night, my health insurance costs me over $1000 per month. I am now a CPA and have my own office. I live in a small midwestern city that is dying from lack of industry that moved out in the late 70's. I see a lot of people during income tax season. You would be surprised at the number of people who are:

1. on public assistance
2. on disability
3. trying to get disability
4. on public assistance but working for cash in the underground economy

When I see someone in my office being supported by their wife and they tell me they are trying to get their disability, I think to myself, I would kill to trade bodies with you. We have bred whole families that live on public assistance and they have lots of kids that taxpayers pay for that grow up knowing every kind of government giveaway that there is and they feel entitled to anything that they can get.

It is only getting worse. There are more of them than there are working chaps. remember the movie cinderella man (russel crowe) when it was an embarassment to take the government dole? He even paid it back after he made some money.

I am sorry to say that there does need to be some kind of cleansing. If everyone contributed to society then it would be a much different world. over 35 percent of americans are living or substantially living on government subsistance of some sort.

Namaste'
