I'm complaining about the role of government. People have grown accustomed to having unearned money mailed to them but we've failed to ask where it comes from and what authorized the government to use their revenue this way. If there's consistently a budget surplus, they should be lowering taxes.

You’re saying that a constant budget surplus should be continuously doled out to others based on their income? Yes I’d rather have someone likely to go buy strawberry flavored things spending excess tax revenue that I’ve paid in to. I’m glad you feel so entitled to the surplus.I’ll sleep better knowing I helped 26 of you with your oil bill, while I pay for mine as well. Chances are this guys better at economics than you are bubba ^^

Funny thing is, these guys would be making six figures if they spent less time browsing reddit and more time learning a skill that's in demand.
