What should happen after a deep breath, is an intake of genuine information. Philadelphia's local governmental system is extremely complex and it doesn't make everybody happy all the time. One of the temptations of a paranoid worldview is that it purports to offer a simple, global explanation

Well ... I have to say it happens all the time, that people receive government benefits without paying equally into the system. Just about every tax you can name exempts some classes of citizen from paying it. They still get the benefits, if benefits there are. This is true on a larger scale
