That's the deal with citizenship - we allow you to live with us as long as you pay for other people. In particular, paying for people that don't make good decisions for themselves. Which is fine, since everyone is poorer than someone else.

No one is interested in allowing you to live in a country without paying for it. You live under the permission of others.

Them's the rules - take it or leave it.

you allow me to? so what if I stop working and pay no taxes? do I have to leave? you sound very self righteous. I assume you're a typical liberal. do you realize you're making an argument against illegal immigration?

As a typical self-righteous liberal, I'll just say that: illegal immigrants pay taxes.
