When people complain about people taking money from government programs and claim that they are taking money from others in their state or country, they forget something:
The only reason those people have money in the first place is because other people gave it to them! The fact that it’s called a salary doesn’t take away from the fact that someone is giving them money. Of course, they are getting paid for “doing something”. But everyone “does something”. The problem is that different people get paid different amounts for what they are doing. And how much they get paid does not necessarily correlate to the importance of what they are doing.
For example, sports players get paid exceedingly well even though they are not doing anything helpful for society. Actually, they may be doing something detrimental to society. Movie actors and producers are probably amongst the most highly paid people. This is despite the fact that not only do they not work at all, but they spend their lives destroying America!
On the other hand, the people who work the hardest and are helping the country the most are amongst the lowest- paid. Those are the teachers. And the social workers, and the babysitters, etc. Oh, and let’s not forget about the mothers either. They work the hardest for the least amount of money!
So the government programs are there to even things out and give these people back the money that the rich people took from them in the first place!
