I hate the left/right paradigm of western politics.
I find myself somewhere in the middle, there is a lot that makes sense from both political ideologies, and there is a lot that doesn't make sense as well.

Ultimately I am A-political because I am convinced that modern western politics is no kind of democracy at all, but rather a corptocracy. The main issues driven by either side doesn't do much but benefit the status quo of major corporations.

The modern age is Plato's nightmare of Merchant Rule (not that I particularly agree with Plato's concept of ideal governance).

Okay how about me not wanting to pay more taxes so some bum who doesn't apply himself. Or some skank who popped out five little shits because she couldn't keep her legs closed? Why should I pay more than the 30 year old just doing the bare minimum at mcdonalds when I worked hard and applied myself? Does this make me a dick head?

So we should treat everyone like children and coddle them. The left wing view is so much more realistic.... Oh how I see the error of my ways...

Only a fraction of your taxes goes to welfare, much of which is used by people correctly who get back off of it. Just because a notable fraction of people abuse it, that doesn't mean there aren't people who absolutely do need it - and there are. If it was cut completely as you seem to want, there would be people put out on the street because of it.

We're all dependant on eachother, and a person's worth is innate.  I think the majority wants a government that is run by people from the ground up, not the top down.  People seem too caught up in making money and pop culture to really think about making big changes, or think at all really.

I think it will always be true that you can't trust people who willingly get into politics, and then to the average American politics just means imagining the world exactly as you want it and blaming a scapegoat when you're continuosly disappointed.  Such a waste of time.

What about the 60-something with no family and no job who's struggling to find work and some old pal of his hooks him up with a nug and he tests positive?

If there wasn't such a shit pile of leftists policies, currencies, and regulations not so many people would need welfare.

Leftism is a well intentioned, but not well thought out spiral into destitude

Right and left is an ignorant choice.

I think out of the box. Ultimately no one is right when everyone is wrong.

Typically left is right more often right than the right side but the right side has its own highly beneficial merits. Politics always changes though when population changes. Too many people and we have to sacrifice freedoms to accommodate people. I think the world needs less people and more personal freedom. George Washington pretty much had it all figured out...

I think we sacrifice way too much for material gain.

My main concern is addicts abusing the system which being an ex junkie I've seen plenty of. I'm assuming it would work the same as probation. If you are using aid from our society obey the rules that go with it.  Personally I wouldn't care about bud. I just don't want some alcoholic or junkie using my cash for their fix. And honestly having known quite a few people on welfare. They never applied themselves. They contribute nothing to society yet expect hand outs.
