To do so means that government transfer payments must be eliminated and then the tax dollars saved must be returned to our taxpayers so they may spend them and jobs can be created for our citizens. In order for poor people to be economically successful a blue print for a plan can be found in the U.S. Constitution and our laws. From the use of this insight a plan must be developed which in turn will create an economic environment in the U.S. whereby jobs can be had by all. Our U. S. Constitution and our laws will work together as pillars of our society to interact and affect in a real positive way the true success needed for our poor to succeed in our society. Thank GOD for our forefathers' hard work, foresight and their sacrifices including in some cases their lives that some of them gave for us all to have freedom which in turn now allows our citizens to live on the best and safest property in the world. These two societal foundations allow all of our citizens the chance to move up to a better economic station in their lives no matter where they came from, their former beliefs, and the color of their skin and/or their nationality. With these two gifted precious foundations and with the support of GOD a great society like ours is allowed to exist on this planet and it is really able to help all of our citizens to have and live with success. All the citizens in the U.S. must be willing to work so that they may live in accordance to their means and they all must pay taxes. It must be understood by us all that those who are willing to take chances in our society will have a greater opportunity to earn more wealth. In the U.S. nothing of dollar value is or should be given to any citizen nor should things of value be guaranteed to our citizens by our government. Transfer programs run by our government do not work for us and they hurt all our people. For our citizens to have a successful life in our society they must earn for themselves and work to gain their own wealth so they may live according to what they have earned and not according to what is handed to them by our government. If our citizens would choose in our society to save everyone that made a bad choice(s) in their lives there would not be enough tax dollars to do that work effectively and at the same time have a solvent society. All the people in our society must be willing to accept their failures and adjust their lives accordingly to reflect their failures and not ask other taxpayers to be their sugar daddies. Our government cannot indemnify citizens' bad choices in their lives. And for those that do not believe this we say poppycock. Able citizens must not demand or ask the taxpayers to support their needs or wants that they themselves cannot buy through their own hard labor. Homeless shelters, affordable housing, food stamps, Medicaid, as well as other taxpayers' supported give away programs (A.K.A. transfer payments) are hurting generations upon generations of our U.S. citizens. Just a few years ago the U.S. was spending about 40 billion dollars a year on food stamps for the needy while today we are giving these people about 80 billion dollars a year in food stamps. Moreover, you can go through each of the other government transfer programs and see similar uncontrollable and hurtful increases that have not and never will help the poor out of poverty. The measurement of success in helping the poor must be accurately documented and the results must show a large and continuing reduction in the number of needy citizens using government assistance not more. Some of our government leaders are gloating and they are pounding their chest about the increase they have caused in our government transfer programs and they tell everyone who will listen to them how they put more of our citizens into these harmful programs. Don't you think it is time to try an approach other than our current hurtful transfer programs to help the needy? Our citizens are not having open discussions about our poor citizens' opportunity in our society. These needed discussions must occur to allow for a workable plan to be developed and put into place to help the poor succeed. Our wrong choices in our lives by some in our society are causing a downward pull to our economy and our way of life. Our government's leaders have no real intent of ever helping or caring for the poor. Just look at the results of their actions so far. Our leaders only want the power to control our citizens and their choices in their life. We want our freedom back. We are tired of our citizens being call bad names like racist or seeing the unwillingness of us all to bring into a discussion the very bad things we have done to the poor people for their votes each November. Just look around you, listen and you can see and hear what the many years of useless give away programs have done to our poor citizens and it is not good. All it will take for you to do is to use your common sense when you look around your community and you develop your own views on what you really see going on. Our government has used non supported taxes to entice those poor people to ask for and demand for more and more government assistance. What do you think about what you see? Make up your own mind and talk with others about what you believe and see. Our governments' actions of the past have been a disgrace and hurtful to our citizens in need and we all should be ashamed to have been a systemic part of having harmed so many poor people. As a consequence, we want to make a change in the way our government works and we really want to help all of our citizens have a chance to fulfill their dreams. As citizens of our society we must move beyond our failed attempts to prop up failed peoples' lives caused by our government give away programs. Our government's actions have only resulted in creating generational classes of poor people with no hope for their future and who are made to be dependent on them. People that cannot afford to support their children should not have them and our government must not misappropriate taxpayers' monies to continue this damaging charade now in place to support this unsupportable and harmful life style pushed on our poor. Our plan for helping the poor in our society to succeed must include the stoppage of the transfer payments now in place and allow for our citizens to choose their own plan for success which must be free of government handouts. This new plan will work because all the wasted taxpayer dollars now used on our government's transfer programs would now be given back to our taxpayers. As a result, our taxpayers will be able to spend those tax dollars and the poor can have a job and a good future in their society without governmental hurtful programs. Our governmental transfer programs are hurting the poor and are in motion to cause the non compliance by our citizens as it relates to our U.S. Constitution and our laws. As a result, our citizens' acts if not corrected will lead to our societal death. We are headed in the direction laid out in the bestselling book by George Orwell titled 1984. This book's plot sets out how the government runs everything in our lives badly and as a result our free society will end in its collapse. As a result of our government's mismanagement, fewer and fewer taxpayers will be available in our society to meet the growing demand for more tax dollars to be spent on the poor. We taxpayers are paying liberal college professors $ 500 an hour to write ineffective healthcare laws for the poor and these professors think we are stupid. While at the same time our good citizens cannot find jobs paying $ 7.50 an hour. You do not need to be a genius to see the hypocritical standards of hiring nutty professors and the underpaying of our working class citizens that was just set out above, but most of us really do see it. American citizens are not stupid. During my long life I have met and spoken to fellow citizens and many know what their leaders have done to them and it is not good. If you do not believe me, one just needs to check the voters' results from the last U.S. election. As an example, in Arlington County, Virginia our elected leaders have created a wasteful, hurtful and unjustifiable taxing environment that is replicating what Detroit, Michigan elected officials have done. Detroit's problems were caused by politicians giving taxpayers' assets away in exchange for votes. These politicians did their kowtowing to corrupt and unchecked labor union's demands for more taxpayers' dollars. Those taxpayers' dollars were given to unions for doing less effective work and for doing less work and as a consequence these political leaders stay in office or were voted into office by them. Moreover, those groups' demands have resulted in a bankrupt city where only the poor live and where empty and gutted buildings are pervasive. WE THE PEOPLE must wake up and realize what our politicians have done to us all and are doing to us all and that is leading us all to having a society void of freedom of choice and which in turn is not sustainable and it is caused by our government's hurtful transfer programs. Our government leaders spend about 90 % of their time raising campaign funds so that they may run or stay in office and they are using the rest of their time pitting us U.S. citizens against each other so we stay mad at each other and we are not focusing on our politicians' corrupt actions. We must have term limits for our elected officials. Moreover, only by having citizens choose their own direction in life for themselves can we really help all citizens including the poor people and only individual choice alone will make our society right, sustainable and livable for us all. We are interested in only using truthful empirical facts when we do our thinking on how to help the poor to succeed in their lives and we do not want to hear unsupported and bloviated statements on how to improve the lives of poor U.S. citizens by people that really don't care. To help Americans to have a successful goal in their lives we must provide for a free economic market full of opportunity for all our citizens. Another unavoidable and deadly consequence of our government's transfer programs will be the uncontrollable and hurtful growth in our population. We must look and study this issue and the impacts those people are having on our environment and on our way of life. Our earth cannot provide unlimited resources for people if we use every inch of it for people. There is a limit to the number of people that our earth can effectively support. As we grow our population past the limit of what our earth may comfortably handle and we do so without a workable plan to limit that growth than life will get very ugly for all who are still living on this planet when that happens. Our government's transfer programs have incentivized our poor to have many children that they cannot support and who will be dependent on our government's handout programs. As a result, these poor children without having an effective family unit in place to show them the way in life will be kept in an environment in which trouble will be common for them and as a result they will not become productive and successful citizens in our society and they will not pay taxes. Economic success would come to our citizens if our government would stop this nonsense of hurting and encouraging our poor citizens to have children that they cannot support in exchange for government's handouts. These people being born in exchange for handouts are causing stress on our planet and they are demanding more and more of our working citizens' tax dollars. As a result of not having transfer programs, our poor citizens would be taught or at least encouraged to make better choices in their lives and in turn their choices in life will not negatively impact the dreams of our hard working taxpayers. All possible solutions must be on the table if we are to discuss and eventually find a workable and sustainable solution to solve the poor peoples' issue in our society and their growing demand for more and more of our tax dollars. To leave any one question and or idea off the table when discussing and working toward a workable solution of the poor issue would just show how weak and ineffective our approach will be. When a solution is picked and if we don't do are work right then in the end our societal choice will only produce the wrong answer to the poor issue and as a result the poor peoples' issue will not be solved by us. What do you think would help stop poor peoples' bad choice of having children they cannot support? As an example of out of control land use in the U.S., one does not need to look too far to gain intelligence. Just stick your nose into the boundaries of Arlington County, Virginia and your eyes will be opened wide by the problem our citizens there are having with uncontrollable and unjustified tax increases and at the same time you must watch the Arlington County Citizens fighting each other over the usage of the small amount of land left for development in that county. Moreover, certain groups in Arlington County, Virginia are demanding free property and taxpayers' dollars from the county's elected officials in exchange for these groups' votes in November of each year and the real problem here is that they have been getting their request fulfilled in spades. Now what will Arlington County elected officials do into the future with no more land left for development? Will they build more and more toward Heaven or Hell? The decision of direction to build in Arlington County is not for GOD to make, but it is in the hands of the citizens' elected officials. As this game of musical chairs unfolds with the Arlington County officials walking in circles and promising taxpayers lands for votes so they or their party may stay in power you will notice on the other side of this issue the citizens and the civic organizations in this community screaming foul and they all are demanding not to build it in their community. But, they all will be silent if you build it in their neighbors' backyards and as a result they will vote for you if you do their bidding and hurt other people. Right now the Arlington County board members are flipping their minds more than the short order cook working at Bob and Edith's restaurant located on Columbia Pike in Arlington, Virginia. But here is the real problem, the cook's flapjacks taste good, smell better and we can safely eat them. While the board members serving of crap is not editable and smells bad, but these elected nincompoops still want us to eat it anyway so they may stay or get into office and control our lives. Without governmental support to our poor, the poor will learn to work and save because if they don't they will not survive and that is life. If we really want to help the poor, than we must create an economic environment whereby all people willing to work can have a job. Jobs must be earned and held only though one's hard work effort which will be supported by one's ability to maintain and to add value to their job.
