The Welfare Fraud Link--Your tax dollars at work!

According to a Chicago Sun-Times article, welfare fraud not sends a portion of taxpayer money to buy drugs, but it may also fund terrorism.

My solution: kill the program. It's obviously not doing what it's intended to do, and it's unfair to the taxpayers and the families of the beneficiaries. Get the government out, and let private enterprises take care of providing services to the poor; they're not afraid to turn away people who want to take advantage of the system, while providing services to those who really need it.

If anything, the government excarbarates the problem. I was grabbing lunch at a McDonalds and happened to overhear two Black men in their early 20s or thereabouts speaking to eachother; one was ridiculing the other for working at McDonalds, saying that he'd "get more cash" if he applied for welfare". I didn't say anything, but the sentiment didn't surprise me. The more people get on welfare, the more people in the class line above welfare will no longer see a reason to work, which means the more the people that actually do work are forced to pay for those who won't. I truly hope the young man did not listen to the advice of his friend/acquaintance. I respect him for being willing to work.

Before anyone comments on compassion, consider this: your income taxes are not "donated" to the government; if you refused to pay them, the government would barge in your residence and force your compliance at the business end of a gun. You are not "donating" to the needy by paying an income tax. You are a victim of government mugging.

And I think that needs to stop. Before it gets any more out of hand.

Grad School Craziness

Once again, I've had to take a leave of absence from blogging; graduate school and work responsibilities have made me put many of my hobbies aside. Hopefully I will be able to update this more often in the near future, but very likely posting here will be sporadic until the end of the month.

Apologies in advance,

Evil Overlord List and Comic

For all you aspiring Fantasy writers out there, may I turn your attention to the Evil Overlord list. (If you've seen it already, tough. Review it repeatedly.)

By now, I'd guess that most fans of fantasy or science fiction have heard of it, but I figure a reminder won't hurt anyone.
