(13,100 posts)The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.
Franklin D. Roosevelt

Many poor people have medicaid
and many children go to public schools.
I will agree, the Rich would like
to stop all social program's if they
could, they don't want to pay a dime in taxes
they only want to be on the receiving end,
and so far it's working out for them and they
want more breaks, because for them enough
is never enough!
