why tho?

Paying taxes gives us the luxury of supporting the life of all -- even if all means i don't wanna work.

So, if we all sat on our asses, who would be paying the taxes so we could all sit on our asses?

That wouldn't happen now, would it? It's human nature. Some are just lazy assholes. Some are just assholes. And some are assholes that keep down other assholes. You can't really differentiate between them all.

It's a dog eat dog world and if there wasn't welfare we'd see a lot MORE violence.

I think you mentioned something about there being only enough supplies for so many people or something to that affect. So... it's even built into our social structure.

Of course, everyone knows someone will b1tch and complain about it but w/e. The truth is you'll be living a much better life than them and without as many hassles.

Part of the social structure are 'grocery' stores. Another part of social structure are lazy assholes. Meh... just gotta live with it I suppose...

Unless you want to lean far, far, far left. It could possibly work now with technology but we'd have to do away with the current economic system.

Ditto. Doesn't stop me from helping people. Even those who have radically altered my life due to events. Those that cost me somewhere around $150,000.00 according to my calculations. (and years of my life)

The only one that holds you back is yourself. Why anyone would want to sit on welfare and pop out kid after kid is beyond me. IMHO, that in itself is abuse.

If you endorse the rights of someone to not work to support himself then I support you paying for his right. I also support your continued payments to support those that cannot support themselves. The rest of us would willingly support those that cannot support themselves also. That is reasonable.

But don't ever ask me to support the lazy assholes who will not support themselves.

Look what this friggen socialist government has wrought! Holy frick. We now have people saying it is acceptable to leach off society. And they are NOT kidding!

There's a whole range of social and economic issues that go along with this argument. There is much more going on that people being lazy. Unless the real issues are dealt with you can't do anything to improve the situation.

I yell "bullshite" at your statement regarding procreation.....nature at its best - yeah right. More FASD victims, more kids who will grow up to be most likely a part of the system and not in a productive way and for what??? Because someone really feels the need to be pregnant or to schtup without regard for the possible end results?????

frigging morons....just because we are able to reproduce does not mean that some of us should be doing so.

So you're saying that the next generation could wind up being stuck in the system because of social and/or medical issues. What about the current generation?

Having kids is a choice. Birth control worked well for me and still does. I have 2 kids and I had them when I was financially able to. We all have choices....

Oh come on.....you know the answer to your own question for crying out loud....those that are "stuck" in the system will most likely have offspring that will suffer that same fate.....we are witness to that at present and in the past.....I hate to generalize and not have the latest stats in front of me but tell ya what.....come for a walk with me sometime on check days.....that is always educational.
