I'm with you, it kills me that cheats and bumblers can end up getting a free ride.
There are lots of stories of them lining up now to get on the gravy train. They don't care what they signed up for or committed to - just get somethign for free.
Playing by the rules is the only way I know how to go. I'm more than willing to pay my taxes if it seems fair and I think I pay loads.
That's why I pay so much attention to gov't spending - I'll pay but come on, let's cut out the wasteful spending, cheaters and get the bumblers on the right track by getting them off the dole.
For those that really need help and can't do for themselves, I'm more than willing to help them too, through taxes and my own charitable contributions.

Regardless of my exaggeration, which wasn't the point, there are an incredible amount of people out there who are as or more than repsonsible for putting the county in the mess that it's in now, and I'm not talking about the bankers.
It sickens me. Some people play by the rules, others don't, the cheaters screw the economy and wind up getting a pass! while people who play by the rules pay for the losers mistakes.
Friggin disgusting.
