Which while outside the scope of this thread- brings us to the next point: if we'd still pay for them one way or another- why are we letting more people come into the country? It's not working. I have to pay for more and more people and I'm getting more and more behind. I'm one of the people who pull the cart and instead of making policies which help me and those like me, the country is helping make it easier to not pull the cart and let more onto the cart so my load is heavier. You are correct the dole is not working. I'd also like to see a outcome based system and if things don't change now they never will. Your arguments are consistently on the left and that's not working. The right view works only a small percentage of the time- very small. The country needs more people in the middle and to help those pulling the cart- not those riding on it.
