The social programs that help indigents, widows, orphans, the disabled and the elderly are good.
Where do you draw the line Decker?
How about Single mom Whores with 4 kids they cannot support on their own, are these programs also good for them?
How about those that don't hurry to get another job, because they make out quite well with unemployment and WIC for their children.
How about those that cheat the system (and there are MANY of them) and get a doctor to say they are disabled and can't work, so they collect SSI.
And what about individuals like me that do nothing but PAY MANY TIMES THEIR FAIR SHARE IN TAXES, but take nothing out.
I've never once collected unemployment, food stamps, WIC, SSI, SS, the list goes on.
I don't even get the government subsidies for children because I am single with no kids.
Do you not see how I (the responsible) am punished, while the dead wood in society is rewarded?
On top of all this, and despite very tough financial times for myself, I still donate to charity.
