Granite Grok on the Welfare State

By Jim on November 26th, 2008

A bit of a downer post over at Granite Grok about the proper role of the government in people’s lives.

Do you ever think that the social organizations ever, other then faint lip service, ever really think that getting more money from the taxpayers puts those right on the edge right at risk as well – of losing their homes for the inability to pay the taxes demanded of them?

THIS is one of the consequences of an ever increasing government. Liberals believe that it is the compassionate thing to take care of people. As they do so, they put those who have to pay for that compassion (for, as we have seen with Al Gore and Barack Obama and Joe Biden, to hit on a few mega-liberals, that Liberals rarely put their own wallets where their mouths and legislation is) ever closer to that edge of no return themselves.

But hey, WE’RE HELPING PEOPLE HERE! So, what is the answer to the question of “what did we do before the welfare state”?

I agree that NGOs are bloodsucking leeches sometimes that have WAY too much power in this country as a whole (they aren’t just sucking the blood out of New Hampshire taxpayers, they do it all over the country). This is what happens though when you allow a leech to attach itself to you and that’s exactly what has happened with these groups.

They feed off the blood, sweat and tears of the taxpayers and there’s never enough money to satisfy them. Far too often politicians don’t have the balls to simply say “no, the taxpayers cannot afford to support you, you will have to seek financing elsewhere.”

But nobody seems to care about the people who have to work to earn the money to pay the taxes that these groups feed off of. Your average joe or jane that gets up and goes to work everyday only to have their earnings stolen from them by parasites who apparently can’t cut it in the real world so they attach themselves to the government and then drink deeply of the blood of the taxpayer.

It’s quite sickening.
