"THE government which robs Peter to pay Paul, can always depend upon the support of Paul."

I am just tired of those people who view taxpayers (via the government...via THAT WHICH TAX-PAYING CITIZENS WORK HARD TO EARN!) as RESPONSIBLE for catching them as they fall (or JUMP!)...and then supporting them in GOVENRMENT HOUSING...with FOODSTAMPS...and GOVERNMENT CHILDCARE...and, basically, with WORRY-FREE LIVING!

The defense seems to be, "Just wait until you need it."

I have needed it, and I have received it by that which is offered as charity...which I have worked hard to replenish when I have been able to.

I DISAPPROVE OF A GOVERNMENT WHICH BECOMES "ALL" TO HER CITIZENRY.

It may seem symplistic, but I believe that this became the "bone" between us.

This case is about CHAMPUS benefits, which are health care benefits for military personnel and their dependents. Are you saying or implying that benefits for our uniformed services personnel and their dependents are welfare?

I'm a little confused by your stance. If you are so against the government handing out money, why do you support the court-ordered handout in this case?

This woman has already had her abortion. Apparently she somehow found the funds to have the procedure and is now asking for a government handout to reimburse her.

Her legal fees to litigate this case are probably several times the cost of the abortion, where did she find the money for that? If you can't see that she had an ulterior motive you are blind.
