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?

The majority of people who end up on welfare don't stay there long, at least where I live. It's a safety net, not a way of life. Given the choice between living on piss and actually earning money so they can live somewhere decent and afford a few luxuries, guess what most people do?

It's easy to point to the worst abuses and scream "destroy it with fire", but then I guess we should get rid of police too, because there are some corrupt ones. Let's get rid of cars because of the Yugo, kill all humans because of tyrants, etc.

Egads, man.
