There was a study done in the late 90s, in Canada. It determined that if we got rid of the social welfare system, and all the administrative costs, each Canadian could receive, from birth, $10,000 / year. That's how much it costs to ADMINISTRATE welfare. THe costs of the admin. people, social workers, etc.
So think of that - each working class family would receive $10,000 for each family member. That would be a real secure base for everyone.
The system is set up to benefit those who control it. It's all poppycock, and yes, we may be technologically advanced, but socially? Ahahahaha........... it's all about the money. We don't care about the poor and the sick, as a SOCIETY.
We are far too complacent, and demand little from our governments. Hey, plug in the gaming system and have a go....... it's much easier to do that, and let ourselves be led by the nose.
