Understanding the current economy for Dummies
#19
It is a tough tightrope to walk. While many people abuse government checks, many people truly need them. Also, many well-intentioned government programs are taken advantage of.

Also, for every good-hearted business owner that would pay a fair salary, offer good working conditions, etc... there are probably twice as many that would pay little, make people work often, etc...

In the last century there were major reforms that had to happen with businesses because people were wage-slaves, and greedy business owners were lining their pockets.

Also in the last century, government programs were started to help people that were hurting and in need and they have been taken advantage by some/most but not all.

What I am trying to say, is that government programs are needed but reform has to happen. Also, those that have, have to be taxed harder, not taxed to death as some may say, but to whom much is given, much is required. (Yes, I took that quote out of context, please don't take that religiously)

For every greedy business owner, there is a lazy check-drawer. Those two ends of the spectrum make the honest businessman and the truly hurting/needy look bad.
