OK, Fluetsch, I did part of your homework on identifying who the "handouts" population is:

How do you expect the elderly, children, and the disabled population to contribute to the state budget?  Last time I checked, child labor laws are in effect, and a lot of the elderly that rely on Public Assistance have paid their financial dues to society by making it possible for you to draw Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security when your eligible.  Than again, aren't t these services "handouts" that you'll one day be eligible for?
