You're either completely ignorant or just playing devil's advocate, I'm pretty sure it's the latter. Have you ever met anyone who said their goal in life is to leech of the system? Do you have any idea how degrading it must be to exist like that?
Very few people on welfare are abusing the system, though some do exist. However, it doesn't make much sense to disband the police because of some rogue cops because the positive outweights the negative in terms of public well-being and it's the same with welfare. I understand the poor are an easy scapegoat, it's been that way forever (when the Jews weren't available anyway). However, a fraction of government spending (in any country) goes towards welfare, and the VAST majority of people who accept welfare are on it for less than a year.
I've been to some of the most poverty stricken places you can imagine. The people are not worthless, lazy, scum. They are poor. People do not begin life with an even playing field.
A large portion of welfare reciepients are not lazy, worthless, scum of the earth people. Believe or not, they're just like you and I.
Then I guess America is the same as Nazi Germany considering they have repeatedly invaded other sovereign nations without provocation. Glad you cleared that up for me. They've also instituted genocidal campaigns based on race though, so maybe there are some similarities there.
It was not a similar case. There are very few similarities that are not completely superficial. Prior to the First Gulf War Iraq has accumulated its military power thanks in large part to the US. After the first Gulf War, they were basically unable to defend their own territory, let alone pose a threat to other nations in the region.
If you keep making arguments like that you're going to be a godawful lawyer. Hell, you might even end up on welfare.
This has nothing to do with Canada, or any of the other nations which disagree with you. Plenty of Americans feel the same way. It has nothing to do with nationality, it has to do with right and wrong. Good try though.
