Welfare

Who created the government? The people. Who funds the government? The people. Who are the people? You and I. What was the purpose of government? To maintain order without oppression not to be the owner of our lives. It is a system to follow our decisions not the decider of whether I have the natural right to live here. Since we live in a nation with various beliefs and ideology it is impossible to agree what's ultimately best for all of us. Welfare is such a controversial subject that it should not be a federal decision but a state decision. So that your views will not oppress me and my views will not oppress you. So you can live in a state that forces you to pay into welfare since you have no problem with being forced to give while I live in a state that doesn't. It's a win win scenario. You say why should one human prosper while another suffers. LOOK MAN READ THIS!!!! YOU DON'T NEED WELFARE TO PREVENT ONE FROM SUFFERING I KEEP ON TELLING YOU.HELPING SOCIETY COMES FROM YOU AND ME A "WILLING" HEART. DID THE GOVERNMENT TELL YOU TO WORK IN THAT SOUP KITCHEN? NO IT WAS BECAUSE YOU WERE WILLING!!!! YOU ARE WHAT MAKES PEOPLE LESS DEPENDENT ON FORCED CHARITY. Sorry to yell like that but I felt it was necessary. Anyways your 4th paragraph confused me as you said you were going to debunk my statement with math. Overall you just stated that people even making minimum wage full time make over a 1000 a month while my point was that you can still survive on a 1000 dollar a month income without welfare and even if they didn't make enough to survive my point is assistance is societies willingness meanwhile you shouldn't have a family at all if that is all you can make. I want to thank you for acknowledging my right to despise the mindset of entitlement. How do I know the mindset of entitlement is found in large numbers? http://www.columbiatribune.com... I also don't understand which two statement contradict each because I don't see any two statements that do. I will briefly say I hate the mindset not the poor. http://www.dailymail.co.uk... this link will provide cases that beggars making a good living just off the people let alone the government. You say who will pay for the roads. In this case this matter doesn't matter to me much either from a capitalistic development or from funding by government doesn't matter to me as long as its not redistribution of wealth. Honestly considering the technology it would be better to fund roads through capitalistic means but I don't care. My hopes is that the role of government will be smaller and less needed. If I had a disaster happen to my home like Hurricane Katrina..... well you got me there that would just suck and social assistance program might be useful but again it's at the expense of the tax payers but I admit there is benefit in that sense however I would not want to burden another with my misfortunes unless they are "willing" to help.As for food stamps this role should go to trusted charities and a willing society like I stated before. To back trace a little bit in my argument, In a scenario like hurricane Katrina the military should cooperate with private charities. The military for order and the private charities for aid. Meanwhile,If people are being fed one way or another there won't be a revolt unless they revolt because they think they are entitled to a certain lifestyle than yeah you will see a revolt. Overall it's need vs want in that perspective.
