The systems in place do not have incentives to get OFF of the system yet there are plenty to stay ON the system. Not to mention it's you who's footing the bill.

If I had 40% of my income back I'd definitely be donating to more charities and organizations that responsibly, transparently distribute funds to programs which will help citizens get back on their feet. I would shop around and find programs I thought were deserving of the money and who had lower salaried execs with the bulk of their donations going towards helping people... I think a lot of people would... many wouldn't but that's their prerogative... combine that with no minimum wage and you're well on your way to a prosperous country where the people who work hard for their money are rewarded, not taxed extra. On min wage... If employer A and worker B agree that a fair wage for them is $4 / hr the government should not step in and say no... Driving up min wage only increases unemployment rates. Sure some people would work for cheaper than minimum wage but that keeps more people employed and the cost of goods down. This stuff is really basic economics it's a shame more people don't realize it.

Instead they're too busy (and if you've read my posts you know I've said this a hundred times)... placing emotions and feelings above logic and reason.

It gives you a warm and fuzzy to know that people who don't work still make money so they don't "live in shacks" or "have to get a real job"... but it's not logical. There is no logical reason for taking the sweat of one man's brow and distributing it to someone else.
