Social services should be cut regardless of the status of our national debt. Social services are a form of socialism, are inefficient, and are one of the many ways in which the government massively oversteps it's jurisdictions. Even if our debt was $0.00, government provided social services should be completely deleted, permanently.
Although many try to deny the facts, some left-wing politicians have admitted that social services constitute a form of socialism, and are a stepping stone to complete socialism. Bernie Sanders states that “In certain respects they’re [Americans are] already socialists,” propounding the idea that “We do have to teach Americans what this [socialism] is.” In an interview with Bill Maher, Sanders openly admits …show more content…

Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.” Here God clearly lays out that the care of those “in need” is the duty of those who have excess. Never has God placed the care of the needy in the hands of the government, and they, by falsely assuming this responsibility, incapacitate those of us who actually bear this responsibility to carry it out, because of excess taxation. As well, this excess taxation, since it is used for a purpose outside of a government's lawful prerogative, taxation used for social services could be rightly argued to be theft. Theft is the act of taking other persons' property with out their consent. In the case of a government, taxation is lawful when a government is acting within it's proper boundaries. When it disregards those perimeters, taxation becomes theft. Thus, taxation for social services is theft, and therefore the social service sector ought to be
