Michael "An excuse is that the government gives it away, so why not take it? "
The government pays people to recruit new members of the hand out club. There are people paid to sign up new recipients for food stamps, cell phones, etc. The takers are encouraged by the government to do so.
And one asks where ethics went? Answer is it got lost at the ballot box.

Rich It is not usually the degree of services provided, it is the cost of the people doing the providing. The cost of the employees is in too many cities inflated beyond reason and the resultant required taxes to pay for same is killing the average citizen. The "greedy politicians" are to blame because they only care about spending tax money for their cronies at the expense of the average citizen.
Netflix (NFLX +24.6%) continues to skyrocket as sell-side PTs surge following a Q1 beat fueled by higher margins (aided by a Y/Y drop in content cash outflows) and domestic streaming adds at the high end of Netflix's guidance; for now, the Street is willing to overlook Q2 guidance for a sizable Q/Q drop in domestic streaming adds. The results demonstrate Netflix's model "continues to show operating leverage," says Cantor, raising its PT to $230. On the earnings call, Reed Hastings admitted Hulu and Amazon have been "bidding more aggressively" over the last 12 months - that could explain the pending Viacom deal expiration. Content liabilities stood at $5.7B at the end of Q1, up $100M Q/Q. [View news story]

kwm3 You are wrong in your theory. Certain taxing jurisdictions over pay, over spend and over promise and therefore over tax to pay for it. For just one example, pension costs in certain places that are simply outrageous cause taxes to be high to pay for them. This caused by, for example, the ludicrous policy of saving sick days and vacation to the last year of working and using them to pad ones pension.
No company that has a choice wants to locate there when there are saner tax rates just a few miles away.
Most cities and states don't have a tax problem they have a spending problem and should be avoided.

blueokie What is bankrupting SS is the disability portion for which nobody ever put a cent into. The "retirement" portion would be just fine but not for the 100% unfunded aforementioned disability portion.
I could add in President Johnson's stealing what was a separate SS fund and merging it into the general fund to finance the Vietnam war but we all know too well about that.
