Raise your hand if you think the government should be in charge of more stuff.

That is weird, a bureaucracy error. No way! I have a hard time accepting that our government provides so many useless services to so many obsolete people. I would take the money and tell the government to shove it where the sun doens't shine because the aid was on them.

a sidenote, I am taking a political science class right now and after the first test we had a session to go over the results, answer any questions, etc. The teacher proposed (jokingly I hope) that he would amass a points pool for distrobution. He would take 7 away from every A, 5 away from every B, and 3 away from every C so if you scored a 95, you would instead get an 88. He would then distribute the points to those scores in the class that were lower. After a discussion period and general objection to the Welfare with grade points idea, the teacher put it to a vote, "all for the idea?" The one hand raised was the one black kid in the class. I am not sure anyone else noticed, but the stereotype had definitely presented itself. To hell with the bureaucracy, to hell with welfare, to hell with a government that is doing anything but protecting my rights, defending itself and providing for my opportunity of success. I am certainly not going to need the base level of retirement or support from my government.
