While we all like to think America is the perfect place with minimum problems and justice for all, it is not. America has a number of problems the biggest of those being the abuse of welfare, racism, and the ridiculous amount of debt. When welfare was first introduced its sole purpose was to aid the extremely un-wealthy and to meet basic needs.

Many taxpayers are furious at the fact that their hard earned money goes towards those sponging off of the assistance the government provide. Over the years united welfare expenses have been estimated to jump around from three hundred billion to an astonishing seven hundred billion, per person the price range varies from $1,000 to $2,500.

The Civil Rights act peaked in the 60’s and was largely caused by racial segregation erupting between whites and blacks.

Many say that if Trayvon was white and Zimmerman was black Zimmerman would be in jail without a shadow of a doubt. When first hearing about the case eyebrows were raised but America went into an uproar when the verdict read “not guilty”. Several
