Why shouldn't they work for it? Why is it that we just have to give our hard earned food and money away? Who do you think pays for the hot breakfast? People who have worked hard, that's who. Why shouldn't the people receiving it work a little bit too?
You already have unemployment benefits. We have NIB. Payroll tax has nothing to do with that. Besides you're not supposed to live on $300.00 per week, you're supposed to find another job. It's there to help, not to be a replacement for actually working. Why would anyone work if they got paid the same to sit around doing nothing all day?
This is it. The government cannot stop spending money. They are totally out of control. The country is broke and they are finding something new every week to spend millions and millions of dollars on. And there is no accounting for how the money is actually spent, nothing at all to ensure that there is fair bidding or that money is not being taken off the top by these political leaders. We have a serious problem, and it's the people running the government.
Does the government not know how to stop spending money? This is out of control. It's just another chance to pocket some money in some sort of kickback scam. There is really no other explanation for it. It's lunacy!
Why are the police harassing tourists? They were not trafficking large amount of drugs. They had personal quantities and the police see fit to waste their time on this. Tourism is what our country lives on. They come here to have fun in the sun, not be arrested for something trivial. Why didn't they just ask where they got it from and go and arrest the actual dealer. This is a waste of our tax dollars and a waste of police resources to do something that is damaging our main source of income in this country.
What does he need to apologize for? He's right, the government is more lost than that airplane. At least they actually have a chance of finding the plane.
