Perhaps you didn't know that our disability rolls have grown by about a factor of 3, since Obama took office.
We can't have these people on the unemployed roster, and clearly we want them to be relying on the gov't for monthly handouts.
Perhaps you didn't know that with Obama's loans and incentives for "Green" jobs program, we now know EACH permanent green job, COST us $11.5 MILLION.
Perhaps you can explain WHY we should EVER allow illegal immigrants, to be granted US citizenship? When someone breaks into my home, I don't feel like they should be rewarded. I feel the same way about citizenship in my country.
Socialism works fine in a country like Norway or Iceland, or Sweden - as long as the vast majority are hard working, and have similar values, you're OK. But it's NOT a good system when it comes to a multi-cultural country like ours, where we have many hard workers, but also many who give "lazy", a far too industrious description for their lifestyle.
Note what's happening in Sweden now. They've taken in a huge bunch of North Africans/Middle Easterners, (largely Muslim), and they were GIVEN the benefits of one of the best socialized systems, ever created.
And they're trying to burn down whatever they can, night after night.
When people are given a lot for free, they always want more, because they take it for granted. And they want it NOW, thank you very much.
We aren't well set up for socialism. I'd love to see socialized medicine in the US, but not the way Obama has set it up.
