So long as Scotty's mates are sipping bourbon and eating caviar on the decks of their 70 foot cruisers, secure in the knowledge that the 6 billion smakeroos the taxpayer gifts them every year is safe, then all is well. The taxpayer is more concerned with kicking the living daylights out of the unemployed and blaming them for the recession than worrying about handing over $6,000,000,000 of their hard earned to those who pay no tax and are on incomes that the vast majority of us can only dream of. Are you as upset about those people as you are about people in their late 40's and 50's who have Buckley's chance of getting a job who reject the idea of being humiliated in order to receive such a paltry amount that it means they have to live like paupers?
It would be poetic justice if the taxpayers who thought like this joined the ranks of the unemployed over the coming year or so.
