I don’t have a problem helping those that CANNOT work,the elderly primarily. It’s those that WILL NOT work that really chap my hide. Why should someone’s laziness be rewarded with my tax dollars? I work hard to pay my own way, everyone else should, too. A temporary hand up for some experiencing a rough patch is one thing. A permanent hand out for the lazy and shiftless is quite a different thing altogether.
Call me cruel and heartless, I don’t care. It’s taking all I have to take care of me and mine. Everyone else should do the same.
If you examine how things are trending with gov’t programs,
you’ll see that they are gradually and intentionally making it HARDER
for those who “cannot” work, who actually do need some help, to get it,
while they are making it EASIER for those who WILL NOT work to get on the programs.
Yes, not to mention they won’t appreciate it if they haven’t worked for it; or that the hand-out steals their future value and self worth.
