Too old? Presumably you spent a lifetime working, why didn't you save any of that money for your retirement?
Too sick? I can see that in some circumstances.
Too feeble minded? Again, maybe a case.
Too young? Then you are covered by your parents who ought to have had enough money to pay for you or they shouldn't have had you in the first place.

And, of course, it's the children's fault for having been born to irresponsible parents.

Fault doesn't enter into it. I'm not saying to take it out on the child, I'm saying to take it out on the parents and force them to be responsible.

Force them to be responsible?

How?
 
Or option 3, creating this poll?

Obviously there are people who have lived intentionally on welfare for as long as welfare has been in existence. But, obviously earning a million a year is not reprehensible, depending on how the money was made and what people do with it? Ok, maybe there might be a few hardcore socialists or communists who may feel that no one person outside of government should ever be paid that much regardless. For the rest of us, I think the choice is obvious.
 
Yea! ****ing living on welfare! I mean i bet its soooo very awesome to live off of limited amount of stamps for food and a little bit of money just so you can barley get by! I hear its quite the lavish lifestyle.
 
Still trying to figure out conservatives' obsession with welfare and why they feel it's a worse thing than rape, wars, child abuse, alcoholism, poverty, income inequalities, racism, sexism, religious discrimination, homophobia, pollution, climate change, sex trafficking, child porn, pedophilia, lack of good education, etc. If a conservative could address that concern, that'd be great. :)

What a really dumb thing to 'figure out'. Why are you trying to 'figure out total garbage? I find that strange. It's like you created a lie and are now trying to make it the truth. I assume you're a liberal. LMAO
 
To you, which is more reprehensible?

Excuse me for saying this but I must. This is one of the most ridiculous comparisons I have ever seen. Intentionally living on welfare versus people making a million? Do you realize what people living on welfare actually get? Sorry, but this is just stupid.

We obviously have too many communists in America.

Great, another anti-war liberal.

Do you realize how much employment there is in the defense industry?
 
Force them to be responsible?

How?

First by REQUIRING a highschool eduction, drug testing and public service to get ANY public assistance. If you have a pet that you can not (or will not) properly care for you are fined and the pet is removed to a shelter, usually placed for adoption. The idea that by simply having a child that you can not (or will not) care for somehow entitles you to gov't funding is INSANE social policy and has contributed to (if not outright caused) a HUGE increase in out of wedlock childbirth; current rates for out of wedlock child birth in the USA are 70% for blacks, 50% for hispanics and 30% for whites. It is no secret that the chances of these children dropping out of school and turning to a life of crime are MANY times greater with no daddy in the "familiy" yet we subsidize this destructive behavior regardless of it being PROVEN to be VERY bad for the children that we PRETEND to be "helping".

That is a rather simple question to answer, since welfare as we know it shouldn't exist.

Who is "we"? If you mean "we" with about probably a very very very small minority of Americans...

Isnt the point of the military supposed to defend our country?
When was the last time our country was about to be invaded or was in danger by another military force?
By having a "defense industry" that is heavily employed does that mean we have to go around invading countries left and right and start wars all across the globe?

If you give a man a fish, then you have fed him but for that one day, but if you teach a man to fish, then you have fed him (and his family) for a lifetime. ;-)

Not really. You also gotta teach 'm ecology and them stuffs, or it might not last too long.

You have to have a high-school education to be on welfare? I can see a lot of problems with that .
Ask Florida how their drug testing for welfare worked out.

Teach him how to catch alligators and he can have his own reality television show.

Conservatives do, today's Republicans are far from conservative. They're just assholes under a common name

You know, you made a Freudian slip in your first sentence. I think you're right--it may be incredibly dumb to try to figure out why conservatives hate welfare more than just about anything else on the planet. Doesn't mean I'm not gonna try. :)

And I'm sorry if the truth of the rest of my post offended you. Guess I should learn to lie.

Not a life I would ever choose, simply because. But there are those who really do seek the path of least resistance in life and are more than happy to live the meager life rather than to aspire for anything at all. My current wife divorced her ex who is that type of person.

I wonder the amount of people that actually enjoy living off welfare.... Im guessing its a very slim amount.
But point being no matter what kind of gov assistance program, a slim amount are going to take advantage of that.
