1) You love making numbered lists
2) I agree that Liberals have ****ed things up beyond repair in some cases, but if you truly think Conservatives had absolutely no role in getting us to this point as well, then there's no help for you anyway, and anything anyone tries to tell you is irrelevant anyway.
3) This is filler before number 4.
4) On your second point, you are being hypocritical, because you also have not actually expressed a solution, and are completely basing everything on emotion. However misguided our emotions can be, it's what ultimately decides everything, so for you to throw that away like it's meaningless is asinine. We learn from our mistakes. If there is never an example to follow, making it up as we go along is sure to backfire, which is why things get tweaked.
5) Everything that doesn't work has to be tweaked to make it work. When Thomas Edison stole the idea for the light bulb (fact, I saw it on the History channel lol) he didn't say hmmmmm, this idea won't work, so instead of working with the points that will work, I'm just gonna start all over from scratch and do something completely different. Another example that might make sense is when you first got hired into your current job at entry level. You didn't know as much as guys that have been running the thing for years, but they helped you along the way. They didn't just say this guy's an idiot, let's get someone we don't have to train.
6)You're completely lost on the whole matter of support of your fellow man, but a lot of people who have plenty of money (I don't know if you do, but it's certainly the image you are portraying) tend to be. If you think social programs, or whatever else you want to call them, are doing no good - here's another example that might make sense to you. It's a hypothetical situation based on the world you seem to want.....
You own a business. Business is doing good, and you're making a killing. Your company grows, so you need to hire more employees to fuel the expansion of your company. Many employees are trained through government provided or subsidized social programs such as adult learning centers, employment commissions, etc. In your world, those programs are wasteful spending, so they were cut and no longer exist. So now you have to not only hire more employees, but you have to spend time and money training them.
Once they are fully trained, they begin working full time. Say several of the females start getting pregnant. You don't pay them enough to afford everything they need for themselves and their new child, so they are all begging you for raises. You refuse, so they all find work elsewhere and you have to spend more money and more time retraining new workers.
You suddenly have several workers who have sick children and need to take time off from work. Since there is no health care assistance, and you aren't providing any, and there are no government daycare reimbursement programs, they have to take off from work to care for their sick children. This slows down production, and cuts into your bottom line.
Then a recession hits. Your employees are starving, but there are no food stamps or similar programs, and you damn sure aren't cutting more into your profit and giving them a raise, so they all have to get second jobs. As a result of being overworked from their second jobs, they come to work tired, slow, lazy, etc. and production can no longer meet demand. So you start losing orders and money, and you fire them all. Back to square one, you have to spend more time and money hiring and training new employees, so for the last year, you have basically made next to nothing once you factor in rent, salaries, supplies, maintenance, etc.
Once you realize business is not sustainable, you have to sell your business for pennies on the dollar, and go back to work for meager wages elsewhere and work your way back to the top. But if these current government programs were still in place, that wouldn't have been an issue, because everything would have taken care of itself.
So say they do scrap all these programs and start over from scratch. Then they make them absolutely perfect, a thousand times better than the originals, but to keep it from becoming corrupt, they are spending a lot more for oversight.
Let me ask you, would you rather pay 1) less for a program that helps the good and the bad, or 2) pay noticeably more for a program that only gives help to the people who truly need it, as long as you aren't getting screwed?
