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?

Oh, I did, but I think you missed the point. Just because it's a majority in your area doesn't mean that's the case for the entire nation. For all we know you live next to a trailer park in the middle of the South.

They can afford the education which prevents them from letting themselves go in such a way.

Education which isn't free. Me? I'm completing my second degree, the work that awaits me in my field is $80,000 at start, and my skills are in high demand. But guess what? I was born into poverty. How did I scratch my way out? Oh, that's right...

So, you'll pay for welfare, or you'll pay for free education. You can't have it both ways, because eventually you'll end up with a mob of uneducated poor fools who still recognize that violence can achieve things.

And then what?
