But we do have programs for this.... In my opinion there should be a flat tax, and you should be taxed a set percent of your income, it would be fair to everyone then... Unfortunately this will never happen. The government needs to get their act together, because quite a few of the welfare programs are utter failures, maybe there could be a way to privatilize them, so that they could have some accountability, because the government obviously do not, (the housing/and loan crisis bailed out by the tax payers)

The fact of the matter is too many people abuse the system some would rather sit on their buts, and get a welfare check, rather than get up and try to make a different life for themselves, I dont have a problem at all with helping out a person in need, but again the system is abused. For example I was walking into a fast food joint, (and I really didnt have any cash on me) but a guy standing right in front of the liquor store, came up to me and asked me for some money for food, I would like to believe that he really was getting food, but comeone this happens way to often. Also, quite a few people pay no taxes at all, and even get a tax refund comeone now, theres a point at which the system failed, and has just gone too far. By no means is this everyone or even most, but the people that abuse it certainly mess it up for the rest.
