I don't believe that the goverment should "subsidize" people.
Example. You have a job, you come in drunk or late repeatedly, you get terminated. You should not collect unemployment. I've seen too many people get "hurt" at work, then try to "milk" the system for all its worth. It seems at times we as a goverment want to "pay" people for not being "productive" in the society they live in. I honestly believe we live in the greatest nation in the world, and your life is what you make of it. If your job sucks, get another one you like. Personally, I've come "a long way" in my life, and I honestly believe it's because I live in the United States.
Although I consider myself a republican, I don't have the "nuke em all" mentality of some others I know. I also think that our country has made mistakes and at times are afraid to admit to them because of who we are.
