And saying that "be held accountable for your life decisions" is propaganda? rofl man..just rofl. You're a child needing to be taken care of.

This is a line championed by the American "Republican" political party to demean and belittle the common worker. The people that parrot this line have no regard for the rights of others. The government's first responsibility is to take care of its people, whether they're poor, sick, old, or incapable of taking care of themselves. That doesn't mean they're lazy or needy.
Go read a book on philanthropy and stop trying to bleed profit out of a stone.

your lack of work ethic and general need to be taken care of

In the 2000's, I worked for five years for one of the wealthiest companies in the world - a true conglomerate. When I started, they were listed as one of the top companies in the world to work for. I got good ratings on my reviews, several raises and promotions as I watched them slowly cut benefits and raise costs of insurance. Stock options? Gone. Employee stock purchase program? Gone. 401k matching? Cut in half. Hiring was frozen. Morale was shot. They were no longer a top company to work for.
Yet they continued to flaunt record profits.
When the economy tanked, given their already tarnished reputation, they separated themselves from their workers as fast as possible. They moved many positions overseas (including mine) and bought their CEO's contract out for 12 million dollars. They immediately turned around and signed him on as a consultant with a 7 million dollars a year contract. How did that make any sense? This guy tanked the company and the value of its work ethic and he was getting rewarded while the common worker was left high and dry.
After that, I worked as a contractor at another conglomerate for
18 months before they were willing to offer me any kind of benefits.
Yet they continued to flaunt record profits.
How does any of that portray me as lazy or uneducated? This is how they treat their employees. There's no denying it. You're just spreading your own lies to try to make you feel better about your own agenda.
