Things like this are just showing how the breeding class and the taxpayer class are increasingly becoming mutually exclusive. I’d like to think of taxpayers’ children lining up for this benefit for which their parents have paid, but I don’t think many of the children have taxpayer parents (at least in the Philly public school system).
I know people who could qualify for various benefits but they think it’s immoral to live off of others. There are still people like that. Imagine that.
Also, what the government does is not charity. Charity is voluntary. The government engages in legalized theft. When one person is forced to labor to support another, I would call that a form of slavery. That is what we have today.
So, you’re Irish? My husband is half Irish. Gives me a license to tell Irish jokes. ;-)
