Catsup— here’s the deal: I didn’t set up welfare, but I do pay a lot of my income in taxes. I get, and ought to get, a say in how it should be spent. I get your “comrade” insult, but if you knew me (and you don’t) you’d keep your mouth shut and think a bit about the issue rather than being cute, which you are not.
First, I do not object to helping those in need. I happen to think that private charity works more efficiently than the federal government ever could (if Biden and those of his ilk would donate more than a couple hundred bucks a year we might be better able to tackle the problem).
But when you are the beneficiary of the “generosity” of others you ARE subject to limitations on the use of that generosity, if for no other reason than to assure its more efficient use. If that bothers you, decline the gift. For those who use the benefits wisely, there is no issue. But for those who would waste the benefits, I have no real concern about their hurt feelings for having to be told not to be stupid.
Of course, when you spend your own money, neither I nor anyone I know cares how you spend it, nor should we. But when you take money out of my checkbook, you are darned straight that I am going to do what I can to attach strings to it.
Oh really? Why not rant and rave about Planned Parenthood? They are taking money out of your wallet as well. Care to tell us how you’re going to have strings attached to this? No, its easier to sit behind a computer and rant and rave - as if you have any control over how any of the money taken in by the government is spent. What a good little comrade you are. There may come a day when you will need help and if that day ever comes, I’d love to shove your post in your holier-than-thou face.
And by the way, most charities are strapped as well. And, for the record, many who are receiving unemployment checks are also paying taxes, so maybe they should rant and rave over how that is spent as well.
Such an arrogant, judgmental, non compassionate person you are. Like I said, I hope someday that Karma gets you.
