    Common sense would say that those who work for their money will handle it better, but common sense doesn't work for the government.

    For ages humans have been getting a way of life handed to them.

    Our ancestors put in all the work and we reap all the benefits, yet some how we continue to run into problems that result from a system that works too well.

    Better quality of life results in longer living populations that continue to grow almost more quickly than we the system can keep up with.

    Technological advance eases the demand for labor or effort and increases leisure.

    It sounds like communism when you suggest that in order to enjoy something you must labor for it.

    Are you indicating that everyone should be forced to some type of labor so that we can be sure that they have earned the money that might have to handle?

    Certainly not the average American Citizen. They are borrowed up to the neck, have 10 maxed out credit cards and are robbing petter to pay paul.

    Sound just like their role model the Federal Government.

    The vast majority of lottery winners are broke within 3 years.

    If you give people money that don't know how to handle it, they will just waste it, even if it is millions of dollars.

    The person who worked hard for it because they know the value of it.

    For the person who got it for free it's just ''easy come, easy go''.

    Good point. We need to stop this trickle down nonsense, and work to create a stronger middle class among the people who actually "work" for a living, and "EARN" their money... Rather than making it easier and easier for those who simply capitalize off of others, and pass money around, while creating "NOTHING" of value.

    Let's get rid of all these Corporate Shill Republican crooks from office before they completely destroy this country, so we can get back to making this happen.

    Unlike the fools protesting on walstreet I researched how to manage money and generate passive wealth. Working a job won't get you anywhere.
