Interesting, in one breath, we demonize the mayor for not providing transportation for the indigent. In the next breath, we demonize the indigent for being indigent in the first place.
Pitiful.
Maybe you don't understand that some of us differentiate between public and private charity. Maybe you figure if Mommy Government don't do it, no one will. Maybe you feel good enough saying your elected reps will dole out the money and you don't have to do it yourself. Some of us feel differently. People make choices in life and the government shouldn't confiscate one's money to give it to another. If I or anyone else want to give of our own, fine. And we do, believe it or not.
