Sorry- I completely disagree. I would not wish to live in the sort of world you describe.
Please describe the sort of world in which you would wish to live.
A world where the grifters and the indolent wouldn't be rewarded indiscriminantly?
You realize, of course, that such largesse necessarily requires that the genuinely needy get less than they might otherwise. That is of no concern to you?
Forgive me, but I'm beginning to suspect that you may not be a conservative. Even a little conservative.
You seem prone to making unsupported assertions and approve of policies that take money away from people who earned it and give indiscriminantly to people who won't.
Even my sis, the social worker, observes that around two-thirds of her clients have taken willful actions which have put them in the situation they're in -- bad boyfriends, drugs, illegitimate children, bad work habits, etc. Even she believes that rewarding them with welfare programs is only creating more of the same -- and reducing the assistance to those who really need it.
Bless her, she's a bleeding heart liberal. But she knows her clients...and apparently has a better grasp of reality than you seem to have.

Then why don’t you and other like-minded individuals pay the expenses of the many millions who can work but won’t? Just leave those of us who are not suckers out of it.
