Wem ust totally derail the gravy train.

We can build a new smaller train with a lot less passengers and passenger capacity (ie the truly needy), but the current train needs to be derailed and demolished.

I would bet over 80% on welfare now, would not qualify for being a true welfare case.

Yep. I didn't add on my earlier comment that while state and local governments are the legal places for charity, if anywhere, I would argue that it is not the proper role of any government at any level to take the earnings of one individual and bestow them on another, simply for charity. That debate, though, should be at the local or state level, not federal.

For one, the argument is philosophical; the other is a constitutional argument.
