Earned Income Tax Credit?

Actually this has been discussed here before, most of you guys who seem to be hard to the right kinda get something akin to horse blinder as far as your opinion of folks who have a different point of view than yourself... I personally believe we are a better country than we were 60 or so years ago and I believe that is a result of the food stamp and other assistance programs that makes it less of a struggle for folks who actually need assistance even though there is a lot of abuse of the 'freebies' as you guys like to call it.

Better than 60 years ago........better how?

We sure have more debt. we also have significantly more unemployment. Have a lot more people who rely on the gubment instead of themselves.

Yea, we're definitely better off.

Yes we have more debt, not sure what unemployment numbers were back then, better in that we have fewer folks living with hunger and other things associated with poverty, not everybody has the ability to provide for themselves and we are a better country in that we are better at helping people who can't help themselves... We do have a good many people who won't provide for themselves and take advantage of the system but I believe the good outweighs the bad as far as government assistance goes... Even the folks who earn their living are living better than we were 60 years ago, we have lots of toys that were not as easy to afford 60 years ago, not sure where that will lead in the future but as of today we live fairly well.
