Have you ever had a case of parasites? I shudder at the thought of some disease ridden pest feeding off of the bounty of my body growing larger and hungrier each time it gobbles a portion of what I am. No one likes a parasite and as we look upon them we feel a degree of disgust, yet we live in a society that not only tolerates them, but also actually panders to their every need. I can imagine what you are thinking as you read this, another jab at the poor and unfortunate who just need a hand up in order to get on their feet. In truth, you are partly correct, but only partly. Yes, many parasites are poor, but many are better off and have no need to feed upon the host of American society and its economic bounty.
Do you realize that one in six Americans and many, who are not Americans, receive an allotment of food stamps each month? Is this a good thing? Perhaps it is, for no one likes the idea of someone starving in America, but why do we give them to non-citizens? Would it not be cheaper to buy first class tickets for those non-citizens to their home country? Do we not have a cornucopia of soup kitchens, charitable food banks, and other such charities in this nation? Then again, the idea of simply making sure that the people of this nation have enough to eat is not really a bad idea, and that doesn’t make them a parasite no matter what our politicians may argue.---read more here----
