This is a really bad idea. Being a taker is corrosive of one’s character. It will corrupt you and your family. Walk away from the system if you must, don’t let it kill your soul.

It is not about more socialism or corruption to oneself or family. It is an acknowledgement that the programs now in place to redistribute wealth will increase in number, no government program ever died and more always are proposed to meet yet another need - these new proposals and distribution programs cannot come into law if the current expenditures make them unacceptable - each time a budge is balanced someone gets another program funded, and so it goes.

This is about keeping the growth of programs and proposals from happening because the current programs are overtaxing the ability of government in real time. People do this by finding out from government what is available and availing themselves of every opportunity.

You would advocate the same for a business seeking tax deductions. Unfortunately today those very deductions will be reduced and that money used to fund even more discressionary or questionable spending. It is time to stop the growth of programs by making sure each person gets what the President and his followers call the fair share - it is stupid for nearly 1/2 of the electorate to dismiss the benefits and then try to vote against them.

Competing with the Democrats for the very dollars they vote themselves will make it imperative that those programs themselves start to shrink, before new ones evolve.
