Make it more pleasant for bums to use public places as their living
room, complete with taxpayer-funded bathrooms and showers, and guess
what happens?

I don't treat them as "shit," I expect them to _work_. Whether they
work for me, clearing my hillside property, or whether they work for
Wienerschnitzel or Home Depot, loading shelves, I don't care.

But I will not stand for my tax rate being at a marginal 48% rate so
that bums and winos and welfare breeders can live off of my money.

First, why should the _public_ pay for showers for those who are bums?

Second, put in more showers and more restrooms and it makes being a bum
more attractive (to a certain kind of person). Why should a bum get up
at oh dark thirty, ride a bus to the Denny's, and sling "Grand Slams"
for $1.99 each when he can shower at the public shower, shit at the
public shitter, sleep at the Armory, and have the rest of his day to
sit by his "Will work for food" sign and collect $20 bills thrown in by
guilty-feeling women driving SUVs?

Jobs have long been done in other countries. It's just trendy now to
make a big deal of it...it wasn't 40 years ago when the American shoe
industry basically moved offshore, or when the U.S. steel industry
moved offshore?

If Americans could read and write and think, and work hard, and not be
given handouts from the remaining hard workers, we could compete. 

This will not happen. The burn-off useless eaters will be glorious.
