Welfare

No I don't want to pay taxes. Who does? The only function a government should display is to protect us from foreign and domestic threats such as funding the military, the police, the fireman and also regulations such as business and health. Those are the programs I am willing to pay for and nothing else. I do not want a system to control our finances.I do agree that cutting off welfare completely could pose a problem so gradual withdrawal is a good idea and I'm glad we both agree. The homeless is an issue that I struggle with myself because there is no real solution to the problem. You will always have the poor but we should "willingly" try to help one another. When I speak of charity I don't necessarily mean private organizations but also people walking down the street and they see someone asking for help and they do so either giving money or food. People do want to help but they do not want give the impression that they are the only source of income. They want to help those who are genuinely in need. You say you have never heard of people getting rich off of charity but here are some links to provide evidence of the case. http://www.getrichslowly.org... http://query.nytimes.com... So to restate the point charity is not just some private organization to go to, charity is you and me when we want to help another. I don't trust many private charities as well but I have more distrust in our current system. The fact that we are force to assist creates an even more distrust. Also, we are not assisting people in need we are maintaining the lifestyles who don't want to work for a living. Meanwhile you criticize me for making a hateful statement. Do I not have the right to despise the mindset of entitlement? Is it wrong for me to resent the lack of consideration they have for the tax payers. You make it sound like I hate people in poverty when I have already explained to you that I go out to help them by my "will". Why don't you do the same instead making others give. If you do then great focus on your own generosity not someone else's. If you say you do then you are contradicting yourself because you are defending a force social agenda which is welfare. You say that a person can't live with 1000 dollars a month and that's balony because my monthly expenses reaches below that amount considering I had fed myself paid for my car insurance, gas and room for rent that most people can find now a days and this is in Southern California. It's all about being responsible not being entitled to a certain lifestyles. Plus you shouldn't be having a family if that is all you make. A person who makes minimum wage should not be getting married at all or have a family at least if they aren't able to support one in the first place. Overall I am against welfare I'm not for any reform I just stated emotionally I would feel better if it went to the appropriate people but logically this type of social agenda is theft and who agrees with theft.? I do want to admit that I over exaggerated about the inflation but if you noticed from ten years ago silver use to be 3 dollars an oz and now it's 20 dollars an oz this increase in value is mainly caused by inflation though I will agree there are other factors this is one of them.
