He Can't Be Serious...

"How's that different from welfare? You get a free house, you get free food, and you get rewarded for having children. Oh, wait a minute, hold on a second. There is a difference: The slave had to work for it." -- Jim Quinn

    I would like to add during the days of slavery (black people)there were also the indentured servants (white people).
    Today the welfare system may be very similar when described as Jim Quinn does.But he is forgetting that the whites are also on the welfare doles. Our welfare system provides for the needy, the sick,but many of the needy and sick do not receive enough money and/or services because the lazy, uneducated (due to being lazy)are draining the system dry. The only way we will be able to continue is to raise taxes on the working man (the old ROBIN HOOD theory)Which Mr. Obama has promise to do. So now all the problems of the lazy are solved, but the true sick and needy will receive very little because no one care about them. WHY? Because not enough to create a political entity of power.

    Prison is not slavery, but it could be called punitive servitude. Due to the fact that the people in prison have committed crimes against society. In a civilized society such as ours we no have longer lynch mobs that hunt down the bad people and hang them from the nearest tree. As for these people being cheap labor, they volunteer for work details. It beats siting in your cell all day. And yes, they are in prison in as punishment for the crimes that they committed,I feel badly for the victims and have no feelings for the prisoners.
