Welfare was designed by the rich?
I guess indirectly since most politicians are rich. By the gist of your post I would say you fit into the category of those who feel that the government will solve all problems, at least if the far left can get total control. Well I'm in the camp that wants the government to leave us the hell alone.
IMO there should not be subsidies for anyone, and that includes oil companies, farmers, other countries, people that choose to reside in reas of natural disasters like hurricanes, ocean front property, or any businesses, country, citizen, or resident illegal alien. Although there should always be some sort of short term exception (in case of some extraordinary circumstance), with a definite sunset provision the could not be extended.
It is very obvious that welfare does not work. I know private entities can do so much better in that area. Now, that being said, I think an exception should be made for kids and medical needs. I don't think a child should go without NECESSARY health care due to the parents situation. My opinion is that most medical needs currently being FORCED on todays kids like Ritalin are pure BS, perpetrated by greedy drug companies, and completely bought into by our drug hungry, a pill can fix anything, public.
As far as the war in Iraq goes, history has yet to judge, although I'm sure one of your favorite sites, moveon.org (or whatever it's called) has, or at least claims to have it all figured out.
As far as the Chinese go, were are ever so faster moving toward a truly global world economy, and unless we revert to a completely isolationist, self contained, economy, we just have to deal with the pains of it.
The best thing anyone can always do for themselves is climb out of your own hole. It always means a lot more that way.
