Here's the thing. Scout agrees that the is a good side to the social safety net when he sees filtherton's situation. However, he has a problem with those who fraudulently abuse the system.
It seems to me that we are talking about two different things here. On the one hand, using tax money to support those in our society who need a leg up or a hand out is OK. Those who break the law are not OK.
Why throw the baby with the bathwater? Deal with crime the way all crime is dealt with... via the criminal courts and or the law.
To those who don't like paying taxes... what exactly is the issue? How else are the roads going to get repaired. How else can you afford to pay for the wars so many of you support?
Government is supposed to be by the people, for the people. Think on that a bit before you go all selfish libertarian on us...
