You know, I have a problem with redistribution of wealth too. But damn, have some heart veritas.

Continuing to show your displeasure by calling the President King George is childish and makes you look foolish.

I notice you're taking quite a beating from lots of posters. Would you allow the government to spend tax dollars if the Black Plague swept across the country? Hey, why build any roads with federal tax dollars in say Texas, since they don't directly benefit YOU. That's what your protests are really about. You.

You should really choose your battles a little more carefully. Your inability to realize that there are human beings out there that truly need help is telling and if it were you in the shoes of some of those people, you'd be demanding relief without hesitation. You know its true.

Isn't there a libertarian board you can go to?

I am fully aware that there are human beings in Louisiana who "need help" to use your words.

I happen to believe in the notion that people ought to help themselves. I am willing to help as a private individual as I see fit, however I don't believe there is a grey area when it comes to using the force of government to redistribute wealth.

You know, one could say that infants are in greater "need" than the people of New Orleans since infants are totally helpless. At least the homeowners and grown people of New Orleans are physically capable of taking care of themselves.

Does this mean that I should go along with WIC and food stamps? According to your theory, and that of Karl Marx, we the government exists to give property to those in the greatest need. Therefore, infants are by definition in the greatest need, so we should give them the most.
