I think you guys are getting sidetracked from the original post.
Yes, millions of people game the system.
That's what happens when you have a govt. handout (or any kind of handout)...people will take full advantage of it.
But my feeling is that when this country was founded there were certain ideals. One of them was a man's right to live his life unencumbered by the govt.
Of course the govt. has slowly over time written laws to change that. Hell, they even ammended the constitution in 1913 (the sixteenth ammendment) to give themselves the right to tax us on our income!!!
NEVER owning your own land and property (because of property tax) is one of those things that to me is outrageous
My belief is that if Thomas Jefferson and George Washington were somehow brought to the present in some time machine...they would start hanging politicians from the nearest tree.
