Assumptions... assumptions... you're good at those. I have no siblings. She is my wife's sister. Her husband left her because he's a scumb-bag (although quite frankly, she is hard to deal with too). He too lives the social handout lifestyle. So does most of his family. He was raised to think that is the smart way to live. No need to work or try hard. Let the government take care of you. That is what they are there for. You likely assumed the person that left her was my brother because we are engaged in an argument. So to you, I'm the bad guy. So since I'm the bad guy, pretty safe to assume that a person I am related to is the one causing these problems with her. Never even thought for a second that sister-in-law could mean she's my wife's sister, did you? Oh, and my point is yes. Most people I've that are involved in multiple social welfare programs do enjoy the fact that they don't have to work a dead end job to get by. But I shouldn't be taxed more because I worked hard and put myself through college and got a decent career and they chose to throw in the towel early on in life and not fight for a better future. And no. The corporations abusing the system in the way they do is evil too and should be stopped as well. I'm not for turning the U.S. in to the Wild West and deregulating everything. I'm just saying raising taxes to bolster social services and "redistribute" wealth is always a veil for take hard working peoples money, throw a crumb or two at the poor to keep them happy and ignorant, and lets make ourselves (the politicians) richer.
