“your bus ride is your “car stamps” in most situations they are tax payer subsidized. enjoy your ride.”

You assume that I could ride the bus to work or to the store. Can’t happen in Fredonia, my friend. We don’t have that option here. Granted, taxpayers subsidize roads and cars a-plenty.

But if you think subsidies for everyone’s use (on roads and the like) are quite the same evil as redistribution for certain folks’ use, I would invite you to choose between government handling your money in accord with your needs and you handling money in accord with your needs. Why isn’t the former fair if government taking others’ money for food stamps are fair? Surely the same government that determines others’ need is greater and takes a little in taxes can do more good more quickly if it simply takes all of everyone’s money and distributes it fairly?
