They should be given money only if I or other people choose to give it to them. I don't want other people deciding what I have to do with my money.
This sums up my opinion on the matter. As we have seen for the last 6 decades, nothing concocted by the Government has led to an improvement in the status of the poor and has rather created a dependent class of citizens.
But I believe that this is the exact strategy Democrats promote when they create such useless re-distribution plans; they are pandering to ignorant voters who think they can get something for nothing. Thus they are able to maintain majorities in many areas because people actually fall for the inane logic that we should not judge these Liberals for their results, but rather judge their failed policies because they care.
Because I and many Conservatives REALLY care and therefore do not agree with the asinine idea of re-distributing the hard earned wealth through idiot Government programs, we are demagogued as heartless and uncaring in order to promote this “good” feeling legislation which after six decades and spending over $40 trillion has done NOTHING to improve the conditions for the poor.
