Welfare

Welfare...
Is it a legitimate function of the government to take away the wealth that YOU created and hand it over to someone that's done nothing to earn it? Should those that achieve be punished by being forced to pay the way for those that didn't?

If you can argue that it is a legitimate function of government to fund and operate a fire department, then yes. The same arguments can be made that it is a legitimate function of government to care for people when circumstances overcome their ability to care for themselves.

It's just a matter of where you draw the line. You, I imagine, draw the line right directly between yourself and the colored people. I bet gays and women go on the far side of the line too.
