hehe  (no need to answer)
And Singapore is just an example, maybe extreme one, system is too good there, difficult to achieve that. But all I am saying is that welfare encouragement is never good for any country. So when I see successful people here claiming they will vote democrats I think - why? I am seriously looking forward to few replies from those people. |
The reality is that if Romney is elected little to nothing is going to change in the welfare system. There will always be people who figure out how to scam it and no president, senator or congressman is going to risk alienating a huge chunk of voters by suggesting mass change. There have been changes made to it and I think there will be more, but it won't be huge.
Could what happened in Singapore work here? Sure, if done correctly. There are huge chunks of houses in and around Detroit that are sitting empty. Why not fix them up and let people living in the ghetto move in there so they can have a house with a yard. Just make some rules. To live there you need to have a job and you can't get convicted of a felony. Help people find those jobs and get an education of some sort so they can get a decent paying job. Invest in them now in hopes that after a few years they will be on their own, out of the system and be productive members of society.
