[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am. It makes sense to me that handouts should not be permanent because they become a way of life - too easy, people feel entitled and forget how to work. They are too divorced from the struggle. It also reflects badly on government, because it shows a lack of trust in people to help shape their own lives. Hand ups, not hand outs, are best.

I see that the larger government becomes, the less efficient it is. Also, running a country as large as the USA, there needs to proper delegation, which is what the Constitution iis designed to do. Anything not in there falls to the state and local governments.  This is by design. Look at any well-run company and you will see this type of delegation in action.

Spread the wealth sounds good, but you can't do that through legislation without stepping on someone else's rights. Why is person A more important than person B? Doesn't make sense.  No one's entitled to someone else's free labor.

People in power always want to stay in power. The people on power will always live better than the people not in power because that's human nature. You can see that is true all over the world. The rules they create never seem to apply to them. Limiting government keeps this in check.

That's a short synopsis.

I'm not a Tea Party member, but I agree with everything you posted.  I'm tired of the handouts.  I'm tired of entitlement.  I'm tired of paying for other peoples' mistakes.  I do think we have an obligation to help those less fortunate, but I don't think we are really "helping" by giving perpetual handouts.  If anything, we are giving people just enough to survive and that's not really helping.

I think many (not all) [b]Democrats love keeping poor people poor[/b].  After all, as long as they are poor, they will need welfare, food stamps, etc...  And as long as they need those things, they will continue to vote for those who want to keep providing it.  Keeping poor people poor is the best way to ensure poor people keep voting democrat.[/quote]

Interesting.  I think that wealthy Republicans are the ones who love keeping poor people poor.  For those business owners the MO is bread and circuses.  Let me fee and entertain you silly.  And, then they throw in "scary" social issues to get poor people to buy into it, exactly the people they don't help.  I don't understand how anyone who makes less than $250K votes Republican; it's just not in their best interest.[/quote]
