That is what makes America "the greatest and freest country in history?" The Republican Party had done nothing to curb the welfare state and has been funding the welfare with huge increases in deficits and not by taxing the super rich. It is patently unfair to ask a young working family (not on welfare), with median income for the area it lives in, to fund welfare for the poor and the old. Either eliminate the welfare (refund the money collected for the future welfare with interest) or raise taxes on the super rich to the same levels as in 1950s (marginal rate of 89%). Welfare and low tax rates for the rich don't mix well.

The American political system is already broken and nothing can prevent full-fledged depression when more than half the population would be on food stamps and those who have work would mostly be earning the lowest real wages in their lifetime. Economic slavery would be rampant in "the greatest and freest country in history."

The question is: Who are responsible for this? Without finding the correct answer to this question there cannot be any solution. Propaganda makes sure that the correct answer is not arrived at. Americans have been bred to be dopes for a reason.
