For the past 20 years, I have been deeply involved in two very different activities. Social work and Accounting. I have been a group home counselor, a foster mother and a business owner/Accountant. I have watched children grow up, seeing their bio families live off of taxpayers money, getting high all day, hanging out at the beach, watching Oprah and Jerry Springer, because they "suffer" from the illness of "addiction" or have drank themselves half to death, or have some other self inflicted problem. Some of these women have given birth to 11 addicted babies, and have no remorse of it. This is typical. Ask any foster parent or social worker. They get free attorneys, free housing, free food, free therapy, free educations, free job training, free transportation, free medical care, free everything. I keep tabs on these families, and none have changed their ways despite all the thousands of dollars pumped into them. I have kept these kids in my home after they turned 18 to try and get them through college at my expense. They are not interested. They see the way I "work (my) ass off" and frankly tell me that the way their bio parents live looks a lot more cush.
All the corporations I have worked for are owned by hard working actively involved people, with fewer then 3 partners and not publicly held. They employ people. They pay taxes. They also support the people here illegally who are flooding the emergency rooms that do not pay for their own health care. They provide health care to their employees. I have doctors as clients, and thier malpractice insurance is $85,000 a year. They deserve to get paid for all those years they were in school learning to take care of you. Some doctors I know are going into other businesses they are so sick of it. I've been looking for a bookkeeper for over a year, but 75% of the people I schedule for an interview don't even bother to show up. Hand outs make people lazy and addicted. Every family I know who has been in the system, their kids stay in the system as adults. They think it is okay to take money from hard working people. There needs to be an incentive to get off your ass and work. Their self esteem is low. They do poorly in relationships and school. They are depressed. They get on drugs. No matter what kind of good role models you show them, they have already learned they can suck off the system and be lazy and its easier then hard work.
I was very liberal, a bleeding heart when I started doing this. A Corporation, even a mom and pop one, pays the highest tax rates in the nation. A self employed person pays almost 16% just in Social Security taxes. An owner of a Corpoation does the same thru double taxation as a business, then again as an individual. Only charities are more scrutinized than Corporations when it comes to bookeeping. Social Security is what pays these "disabled" people, and it is running out. The money IS redistributed, and its wrong. Half of what I earn is taken away. Like my foster kids said, why should I work my ass off? I should just get high all day and watch TV. I have a client with a Tattoo and Piercing shop in an area with a lot of people on public assistance. He is packed on the first of the month when everyone gets their checks for their so called "neediness". Your tax dollars hard at work. The incentive is to be a loser. We need to let people keep more of what they earn so they can give jobs to those willing to work. Most of my clients are hiring, and they cannot find people. Everybody wants something for nothing. I do not know where all these people came from who feel so entitled to live off my hard earned money. I struggle financially. Someone with a job or a Corporation is not "wealthy"; they are, in my 20 years of doing business, honest and hard working. It is the people the so called "wealth" is being redistributed to that are the problem.
Life, liberty and the PURSUIT of happiness. Not a damn genie in a bottle. Its not good for us, its not good for them, either. They would be better people, better parents, forced to face their issues if they had to get up and earn their keep. Its not about Materialism. Its about taking responsibility and pride in yourself. There is nothing wrong with paying for health care. Doctors deserve to be paid, and paid well. If people had ANY idea who all these so called desperate, needy people really are they wouldn't be so quick to run to their aid and enable them to create yet another generation of vampires.
Love to hear about theories, its interesting reading. I deal in reality.
