Welfare Programs and Taxes Doom Our Country

Any economist worth the name will tell you that a democracy is doomed once the majority of the people figure out that they can live off the hard work and earnings of the minority. The democracy is doomed because the majority who live off the wealth of the minority will vote only for those things which will increase social programs and make the minority pay for them. This works the same for a republic like ours.

This is exactly what is happening to our country right now. Government spending has never been higher, even if you subtract out the billions spent on the war, it is still very high. I blame the Republicans for that. The Democrat majority in the House and Senate are looking to re-instate the taxes that were cut by President Bush. They want to use that money to spend on new social and entitlement programs that will, in turn, buy them votes and keep them in power. This is, also, the reason that the Democrats are so Hell bent on pulling out of the War Against Terrorism (W.A.T.). They hope to spend that money on more social programs which equal more votes for them. The fact that the country suffers from high taxation and will certainly suffer more terrorist attacks on our soil if we abandon the W.A.T seems to make no difference to them.

It has been proven time and time again that reducing taxes increases the tax base and brings more money into the government coffers. It seems like the Democrats would realize this and support any idea that enriches the population while also enriching the government. But, this is not what they are after. The Dems don't want a richer populace. A richer populace equals less people who are dependent upon the government for their livelihood. This equates to less people who need to vote for the party of government handouts, the Dems. The Democrats are very afraid of this possibility. Less votes for welfare programs like socialised health care means fewer Democrats in public office. To the Dems this would be a disaster.

You watch. The Democratic controlled Congress will do everything that is humanly possible in the next two years to 1. increase the tax load on the middle and upper classes, and 2. create more massive social programs that will sentence another generation of poor to believing that the only way they can survive is by depending on government handouts. Mark my words!
