When I finally left Cape Cod (Maybe you have too, I don't know your entire life, but I know you're living there now) I learned a lot. Yes, most people on Cape are ashamed of public assistance, we come from small tight knit communities. When I lived in Northampton, (not even a big city) I learned a lot from first hand experience about how people exploit the system. Because they can. Because they deserve it. People have kids to get welfare. Its true. People are faceless and nameless in the city. They don't care what you see. Some people don't want to work hard and they know of a big dumb gov't they can take advantage of.
The system is corrupt, and as I have said before greed is nearly inherent with money as we wash our morals away. But NYC didn't create this mess, DC is to blame. Take the protest to the policy maker. OWS has done a great job at changing the conversation, but they are in the wrong place.
I live in MA, yes, I am directly affected by and concerned about the amount of money the state is spending on this. This is not media indoctrination. I am concerned and active about my local community. I plan on living in Massachusetts forever, and I fully intend of having nice roads and big parks that aren't destroyed by people with liberal arts degrees who refuse a job because its "beneath them". This is not some fantasy, Dewey Sq is 3.5 miles away from me, It DOES cost me something, I am a resident. My public transportation to work is already in disrepair, I would really like to have that fixed. I think a cool 2mil would put a nice dent in that.
I'm not sure why anyone would aspire to be rich anymore, they have to give half of it away, and soon more.
Part III
