In fact, I do believe that I have stated several times that I am accutely aware of the fact that there are many out there that must have Public Assistance in order to survive. I do not begrudge one nickel to any hard working human being, whose back is truly up against the wall. I will say it one more time. What I object to are those that are on Public Assistance that somehow manage to maintain a better lifestyle than the guy sweating his ass off in a plant for 8 to 10 hours a day.
Fair enough. Though you did say in your first post that you believed that the vast majority of people on PA don't need it. This would seem to imply that you believe that the majority of people on PA are cheating the system. All i did was question the relevance of that assumption in light of it lacking any possible means of verification.

PA makes you angry because it allow people who don't work as hard as you to live better than you on your dime. I'm just curious as to why you chose to focus on PA when nearly every aspect of human existence has this dynamic.
