    Well, we now know that you have never been in a welfare line. That's a good thing.

    I have received $0 of government assistance in my lifetime. I would rather starve than beg for food...... which is the number one reason i will never starve..... or beg for food.

    so how about you shove that comment right back up your ass where you pulled it from.

    If i ever need government assistance, it will be because the government took too much from me for me to make a living.


    Yes, i am a dick. If you want to donate to charity, that's fine, and i will admire you for it. What we have in America today is literally me being forced to donate to charity via a gun to my head.

    Have you not always paid taxes?

    I understand feeling upset that a lot of the benefit programs are abused and you may feel like you're being robbed your money so others can do nothing, but that's not the case, at least not as large as people make it out to be. You're hardly robbed if $3.00 goes to the BS a year. More than you want to pay maybe but this is America and that's how it is.

    I doubt someone would come to your door with a gun, probably a notebook and a lot of questions.

    I agree, the programs need to change and need to provide results, not just be a lifestyle option.

    The government isnt gonna volunteer to reduce it's size and ability to dispense funds to voters. How do you suggest we fix these problems?

    Yes, i pay taxes.... and i am currently out numbered by people who think they should be able to control me financially, how do i resolve this?

    I wouldn't say changing the laws surrounding the programs or how one can get the benefits/keep them won't be changed somewhere down the road.
