Re: great said by BiggA:Of course, once they have it, they will use it more. This is the same thinking FDR used in 1930s to ensure Democratic control of Congress for decades to come. Just give everyone government freebies and those who receive them will always vote for you. There is absolutely no way the opposition (composed of those paying the benefits) will ever win an election if a solid majority of people are on the government dole.
Of course, the plan backfires when there are more incentives to not produce and live off the government than there are to produce and pay taxes. After all, who would want to bother working when they know 80% of their wages would go to taxes and they would have to forfeit all the nice freebies they would get for not working?
