(53,661 posts)When the ownership of the land and the subsidies they recieved was checked out by disgusted passerby, it turned out they were the real welfare kings and queens. This is the part that gets to me, about the division being preached by demagogues.
We are all paying for things we don't like according to our personal quirks. Like some don't want to pay for the MIC, for police, abortion, to subsidize big farms, pharma, energy and other businesses. We all pay for things we don't like, and pay for things we do.
The reason is, we accept all these things make a whole which is WethePeople. People we never met whose lives are as important and valuable in the big scheme of things. We can argue the points, but to deny they have needs or talents we don't know and don't want to know, is wrong.
And it's really out there to see people who are benefiting from government, which means, the nameless masses of people one doesn't know who paid into the system, deny them the same rights.
