    I guess the point I am trying to make is that people blame the social programs instituted in the US for all of our problems.
    I'm not doing that.

    They always use the small percentage of lazy non-motivated leaches on social programs to prove that they are not worth having
    It is a small percentage of the populace, but not actually a small percentage of the people in those programs.

    In any event, you've greatly misunderstood everything I said.

    I was blaming those "lazy non-motivated leaches" for the problems with those "social programs".

    So... pretty much the opposite of what you thought.

    Point taken.

    I still think that instead of targeting these people we should aim a bit higher.

    * We should review our tax strategy on the wealthiest Americans. I can already hear the gnashing of teeth as they try to explain trickle down craponomics and how it is the savior of the free world, but I think we all know how that fairy tale ends.

    * Bring our wars to an end, and stop propagating fear to control our citizenry.

    * Admit that the free market was not the economic utopia that it was promised to be, and have open discussion with the people about alternatives.
    "The people don't want war, but they can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and for exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country." - Hermann Goering.
