Because your sound every bit like a dictator.

In your mind, it's the poor that have caused the issues.

Not the politicians, and their corrupt friends in high places and with wealth.

No, hammer the poor, free the rich.

In my mind, EVERYONE is accountable. Yes, the rich should pay more taxes. No, I don't care about their whining about why that would be a bad idea. Guards should be in place to keep them from utilizing their wealth in abusive ways. Our system of justice in particular needs a serious revamp to minimize the huge benefit wealth provides in a court.

On the flip side, welfare should only ever be a temporary thing, to help people get on their feet (or back on their feet). Permanent welfare means you are a permanent leech on society. I don't really care about leeches, or what happens to them. Cut 'em off, and let them deal with the consequences.

And frankly, NOBODY should be having 30 children. Sorry, but that's just ridiculous. If you aren't responsible enough to see and understand that, you aren't responsible enough to have control over your own life. I don't even really care if you are a billionaire that can afford 30 children with zero aid from the government. There's no way two parents can give 30 children all the attention each of them deserve from their parents. Farming them out to hired nannies is just another form of irresponsible parenting.

In summary, neither the Democrats nor the Republicans are what's needed to fix this country. What's truly needed is a sane, rational leader that doesn't care about party lines and agendas or campaign contributors agendas. The sad part is, our political system essentially makes it impossible for such a person to get elected. In other words, we're fucked.
