>> Because you've created a straw man based on your biases; that the US is a welfare state. It isn't. I'm not sure how YOU define it, but by any reasonable definition we ARE a welfare state -- one in which a person can earn more by not working than by working would HAVE to encompassed by the definition of the term. And that is certainly a fact in the US as I've told you for a decade now. There is, of course, plenty of strong evidence to back up that position. >> You don't know any of that.. I don't know people who are quitting are choosing not to work? I think I do. >> its mostly anecdotal Hardly. We have a figure approaching HALF of Americans who are on the public dole in some shape or form. Disability fraud is rampant. Food stamps are traded openly at 50c on the dollar. A new health insurance law provides government subsidies for families of four making $94,000/year. Our labor participation rate is at the lowest in more than 40, almost 50 years; and the only job growth we have is "part time" work resulting from the latest welfare program, Obamacare. Our deficits are "unsustainable" SOLELY because of Medicare, SS, and Obamacare, and the interest on the debt they are adding. How is that anecdotal?
