Neil Cavuto was spot in his “Common Sense” segment today. When half the country gets something for free, they really don’t care about the cost to those paying for it. And those who pay the least are the ones complaining the most.
And now that I’ve discovered nearly half of this country’s households don’t pay any taxes at all, it’s clear they have no skin in the game either. So, little reason to worry about the price of the skin or the game.
So no wonder they don’t really care how much a government program costs. It’s not costing them anything. Why should they? And no wonder they don’t care about hiking taxes on the rich. No one’s hiking taxes on them.
Like I said, they’re not even paying taxes. So it’s hard to expect someone to care about costs when it’s no cost to them.
That’s the danger of running a government where half get it for free, and the other half, well, they just get it. And don’t politicians know it. They know they can keep spending because half the country isn’t paying, so likely isn’t watching.
Read the full transcript. Good grief, we’ve become a nation where half of us are freeloading ingrates. And the progressives only want to create more freeloading ingrates to ensure their ongoing electoral success. If things don’t turn around soon I don’t see how this will end well.
I watched this segment today. It is part of what got me “all worked up.” When half of the people do not contribute to the country they live in, the country will fall. It’s not hard to figure out. I agree with you – I cannot see how it will end any time soon.

Not only that – the whole ethos is spreading.
One nit called c-span this morning to complain
that we are blaming poor people for the housing mess
when they were just “taking advantage” of what was
being advertized. Funny how it has nothing to do
with those people knowing EXACTLY what the house cost
and knew EXACTLY whether they could afford it, but why
let that get in the way of getting a bank to cut you
a check for 400 thousand dollars.
Another nit at the first Financial Inquiry meeting
referred to this as ‘a different concept of property’
Thats nice – someone who clocks you with a pipe and
takes your wallet just has a ‘different concept of property.’
So – if you steal a laptop from walmart, you go to jail.
But if you defraud a bank of 400 grand – no problem.
If we can not see what is wrong with this picture then
we deserve what happens.

I agree that there is something drastically wrong with those in the congress, along with our President, who are dramatically changing the way that our economic system not only works, but the manner in which we are being told to believe is a system that is fair, balanced, just and bound to be bountiful for the citizens of a free Republic.
The only thing that I feel necessary to be pointed out that we understand that there are some who are truly in need and have in our past history, been aided by the same free enterprise system of that past history and a people who were brought up with values that guided them to a consciousness of their need to “reach out” and help the less fortunate.
That system worked, because the responsibility was in our hands, not in the hands of the government who takes a dollar from us and gives ten cents to the victim, if even that much by the time the government takes its “piece of the action.”
Does anyone really buy into today’s administration and leftist Democrat rhetoric that the free enterprise system is the cause of greed and larceny seen in today’s government that is even greater than what has been seen in the private sector?
The rallying cry of this administration was to “Throw the bums out!” Now we have come to see how they have been replaced by even greater corrupt practices and assaults upon our treasured constitution.
This time, we need a “meaningful change” back to the traditions and values that led this nation to be the greatest home for those who seek protection and freedom from the power of a repressive government.
It’s time once more, to “throw the bums out” and this time, be sure that we scrape up the rot that is at the bottom of the governmental barrel.
