| > 1. I don't owe anyone anything for them simply living and sucking at life
The world has given you lots, especially while growing up. Count the ways, the lives people have saved, transformed and helped through their voluntary kindness.
And yet THIS is not a reason for me to do anything for anyone else. This is you trying to justify why I should work for other people so everyone has a smile.
> 2. I work for my money and my education, it isn't impossible for everyone else, at any time in their lives, to go and do the same.
of course it is, thats precisely why we have welfare. Schizophrenia, idiocy, personality problems, etc.
Any disorder where someone is stopped from working then I don't mind supporting them, but wake up and smell the beans cause thats not where most welfare is going to.
> 3. I can't really afford to pay for other people to live either; I am just making it on my own.
Your 32 hours a week more than pays for the essentials, what youre just making is just the standard of living youve got your sights set on. To illustrate this, go tell a Nigerian youre only just making it on $xxx a week and time how long they laugh for.
Why don't you go tell me how much Gas in Nigeria costs, or how much a car costs in Nigeria so I can drive to work, or how much an apple costs in Nigeria so I can eat. Prices are different and I am hardly making enough to get by in AMERICA, which is the location we are talking about.
> The reality is that in every country without welfare there are people starving, begging and stealing to try to stay alive - and many fail. If they could get a job, they would.
First off, prove it, second off, prove that it is because of welfare. Perhaps every wealthy society has a guilty middle class to invents welfare so sooth their troubles and if they didn't have it they would be better off. You can't prove any of this one way or another.
> And it isn't like trade school is unaffordable either.
A trade career is not accessible to those that have no credible chance of passing, schizophrenics, etc etc. I'll stick my neck out and say youve never worked with the mentally ill, homeless, etc, you seem to take what youve got for granted.
Again get off the rare exceptions, this isn't about nut jobs it is about lazy people, the MAJORITY of the people taking my money.
> So I am very sorry if those who in their life put an effort out there don't want to pay for some lazy fat pregnant whore and here three retarded children who in the mostly likely of situations wouldn't have the slightest bit of respect for you and would more likely than not ramble on and on to you about the poor misfortunes of their lives.
Stereotyping like that is generally used as a way to justify a point of view of rejection. In reality the poor come in all kinds, albeit with a greater incidence of serious personality problems. I would sure like to know that if I have a kid that gets lost in life, they will always be able to eat.
Then save money for them cause I won't help.
> There is not one reason but invented pity to explain why in the world we are paying welfare.
Its called giving a monkeys about our fellows, morality, etc. And providing a safety net for yourselves. Doesnt mean you have to like them, just let them live.
There are other reasons to pay them too. If you dont theyll turn to crime, and that wll cost you more and cause greater personal suffering. It just doesnt make any kind of sense to not pay them enough to stay alive. No-one wins that way.
Some will turn to crime, most will just work. Why don't they just move to Nigeria and live like kings though? |
