“Unless someone can show me that this family has waived taxpayer money, this is not laudable.”
Define “waived taxpayer money.” Do you mean waiving AFDC and food stamps, or do you mean government schooling, or do you mean use of public roads? All of which are paid for with taxpayer dollars.
Of course, taking the moral stand that you have, I’m sure you’ll be doing the laudable thing and waiving any and all payments from the biggest welfare program in America - social security.
You *are* going to refuse social security payments aren’t you?
I'm perfectly willing to accept only the money I paid in, back. I'm even willing to forgo any and all interest on what was taken from me. Wake me when they make the offer.
