I don't get what you people want to do with poor people. End the welfare state and just leave them to their fate?

You realise we have the welfare state for a good reason, right...
Unless every time you watch a Dickens movie you think "if only my life was like that".

Maybe people would have more money to spend if taxes weren't taking away as much and driving up the price of goods, and regulations weren't adding to the cost and sending jobs overseas.

You shittin' me? Is that really how you people see the world? Lower taxes and cut regulations and all problems are solved? You know what we call countries with low taxes and lax regulations? The third world. Because survival of the fittest does not a prosperous nation make.

Those nations resort to tribalism, terrorism, tyranny...basically savagery when they lack free institutions, a clear definition of private property and contracts. So if a nation adopted those principles they'd be more successful. Welfare doesn't factor in.

"I reckon you could just ignore these zealots and scrap any government funding we still have going into religion," says Buffy Mombota, author of the wildly unpopular book 'Face It, There Is No Afterlife'. "I can't believe that modern thinkers like you and me are still tying ourselves down with outmoded and outdated concepts like the 'soul' or 'God'. Just drop all funding and give everyone a bit of a tax break. At least then we can be a bit richer before the long infinite void of oblivion at the end of our small, feeble, insignificant little lives."
