so you think it's ok that you bust your butt to provide for yourself and your family, and Louis down the street can coast along and not break a sweat?

Yeah, a few bad apples spoil the bunch, but you seldom hear of the good things that come out of welfare...

I equate it to the homeless guy on the street who yelled at me because I gave him coffee and a bagel, he wanted the money for it... Now, he claimed he was going to use it to buy food... I supplied the food, he didn't like it. I see that a lot with welfare cases (and I've lived in some pretty crappy areas...) I've done a lot of volunteer work with soup kitchens that are run by either religious or charitable organizations, I have no problem with that... People can get a hot meal, maybe it's not in their own home, but ah well -- get a third job...

I'm not sure whyit is the responsibility of the government for feeding the masses?
