Why are you referring to people who abuse social welfare their entire lives as "down and out Americans?"
Apparently you are all middle class white males who have no clue as to the extent that American social welfare policies are extorted.
It is these policies of "free money if your can't make it yourself" that GIVE WAY to the billion dollar bailouts we've seen.
Americans seem to think money is just created out of thin air. If you need it, the government can pull it out of their piggy bank and toss you some. That is not how it works. When the federal reserve loans our government money, to give to worthless American peoples, they put severe interest on it. (Federal Reserve, though it has the word Federal in it, is actually a private bank)
Since we have habitually abused these notions of free money, our national debt, and interest on that debt, is out of control. Hence, taxes WILL NEVER go down from where they are now, because we've already committed the crime of asking the Fed for too much money.
But, if you feel like your not paying enough in taxes already, feel free to support welfare program and other social policies, as well as the next bailout.
I'm sure there are plenty of "down and out" Americans who would like some "free" money.
