Reagan Made America Hate Government. And Thus, He Made Americans Hate Themselves.

I enjoy donating to the needy, but I don't enjoy being forced to help anybody. I am for our country having a safety net, but I do not trust the government to manage it. Even Churches have trouble managing their safety nets, but they do a better job than government.

I do not like to see mankind suffer, but I do like for people to be familiar with the uncomfortable feeling in the tummy when it does not get fed enough. This uncomfortable feeling that comes from not having enough to eat provides a beautiful and natural motivation to be productive. A good safety net needs to be able to sort out the ones who can be productive from those who can't.

Your view seems to overlook the fact that there are people working full time who can't earn enough to have a place of their own and feed their kids. But it is good to know you'd like to help the obviously needy. Actually I think welfare fraud is fairly low. At least according to the BLS that is. Whenever we can get that opened back up again, anyway. It is nice to know the things that we can only know when the government is open. We are now finding out everything government does for us, now that we are missing it.

I'm not missing anything. I want a deeper and longer shutdown.

Your OP is just a rambling mess it made me wonder if your account had been hacked. Reagan did not make people hate government. Quite the opposite. His militarism implicitly praised the government as the one who could make you safe from things that go bump in the night. He just wasn't fond of the parts of government that democrats heart the most.

Just admit you do not know his stance and we will all be better off. He was the first president to make those anti-government statements. Remember the "In this present crisis, the government is not the solution to our problem, the government is the problem.? He went after Welfare with the lying fake Welfare Queen meme he used so often.

Not at all. Just a few thoughts that occurred to me. If you want professional journalism then go to the main stream media.



He made hating the government cool.

That was the act of a fool.



He said government itself was the problem. He lured America into self-hatred. He pretended that government was some kind of evil monster that has to be kept at bay or it will get too big and consume you. Guess what. We are all part of it already.

If you hate yourself that has nothing to do with Reagan. After the 70's oil crisis, the iranian hostage debacle, and double digit interest rates, I am pretty sure most voting adults had their fill of the government well before reagan.

And you think welfare fraud is a big problem, I know. And it won't bother you a bit if this shutdown begins to affect the safety net.

We still have churches and people with kind hearts as a safety net. It is probably time to dismantle and destroy the safety net, since dependence breeds resentment. Too many people exploiting the safety net.
 
when you see people rationalizing not helping others realize that is a sociopathic mind


their argument in its self diagnoses their broken mind


Only an uncaring being rationalizes letting others go without
 
There is NO rational HUMAN that searches and grasps to see those in need as TAKERS


if they took they would not be in need huh


their rationalization is based in them not liking or trusting other humans




They believe they are more BAD than good



where did they get that impression of what people are deep inside?



we all have an example handy huh


its called your own heart



when these people peer into their own humanness they see an empty cold void



So


they assume all other humans are as cold and empty as they themselves are



Their own view of others is a self diagnosis

Safety nets work. Social Security has never missed a check in over 80 years. Time to dismantle churches or tax them heavily.

I do recall that before Reagan, government-hating was popular among moonshiners.

But that wouldn't happen with church-run safety nets, which you prefer, but which do not meet the demand.
