Since you want to get into the ring, where exactly does YOUR numbers come from?

Name exactly who it is you refer to that "needs" benefits but doesn't get them? Now compare that number to the number of people that abuse those benefits they do get.

Furthermore, As SteveO perfectly said...I'm not bitching/debating about people who get what they deserve. I'm pointing out that people should have the right to see to it that their hard earned money shouldn't be squandered and even worse have to go to support someone who is not pulling their own weight in the scale of society. That is what the residents of N. Fulton Co. are wanting to say when they say they'd rather support themselves than the WHOLE county. I don't blame them. When you pay your own property taxes, you'll agree as well.

Question for ya: Would you rather 1 innocent person be sent to prison by mistake along with 100 guilty ones or let 100 guilty people free along with the innocent one?

Same thing is going on with your logic. You'd rather maintain the present course which is obvious DOES NOT work, ie. why it's going bankrupt, than it is to make changes which will inherentlly make it more difficult for people to get their deserving and needed benefits. Let's not inconvinience a few for the benefit of 10x's more? How's that logical?
