Town halls, polls reveal Americans’ deep reticence over moves to tackle deficit

You need to look at it like this: ... most GOPs think welfare is theft and robbery because they believe their labor is their property under common law. They don't realize the low wages they pay and corporate politics on job exports / imports put people on the streets overnight. They are greedy and don't care about working people just what they can get for themselves.

That said we should end all social security because the entire system is not sustainable unless taxes are raised. If employer costs are increased they will "have no choice" but to find markets with no such taxes -- meaning your jobs go overseas.

At the core level it's really a banking issue and globalization that are the problem.
