If I ever found out that the shelters I donate to were using that money to provide alcoholic beverages to 'clients', they would never get another cent from me.

So do I. But the checks never seem to get to me. So, my wife still has to go to work everyday. I'm one of the "evil" self employed that the IRS is convinced I am cheating them out of my "fair share".

Hey, they can't disagree with you when they are drugged or drunk. Very nice passive little citizens when they are on the sauce. And they vote, too.

You have described many nursing homes in this country where we also pick up the tab.

when you remove the penalties associated with bad behavior, all you get is more bad behavior.
