Stop spending so much so that I don't have to pay as much when I am older.

I'am 18 years old, and I will be paying for everything that you are paying for. So will the rest of my generation but most of them cant see that. The welfare, social security and other programs are awesome and I'm sure some of them are necessary. People shouldn't be able to just live off the government, times are hard but America was built on the thought that if you work hard you can succeed. Taxing wealthy people and letting people sit around and giving them money and food stamps is wrong. In America you sink or swim, that's what freedom is, you work and get paid or sit around and get nothing.
