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?

||Furthermore, I never said it would come to revolution.
That's what we pay police for.

||Your government is already bleeding because of people constantly saying taxes should be dropped.

Actually, it's because Bush is an idiot, but that's another debate.  Under Clinton (god rest his glorious soul) we had a surplus.

||I've mentioned the reasons above (age and me).

Shut the <I>fuck</I> up.  You brought her into the conversation. I never insulted her at all, I was just asking why if she collected welfare she didn't work (which you say she did, and at a very cushy job if you ask me...  sounds lazy to me.  Get a job as a cashier somewhere).  Why couldn't she work full time or get another job?  That's only 40 hours a week in my country.  If she wasn't making enough, she'd still have gotten on welfare right?

What it all comes down to is that your mother COULD have worked (at something that's not a hobby for most people anyway).  But she didn't.  And I don't respect her for that.  That's all there is to it.  And that colors YOUR character here.
