Re: "The big question is 'Should a prosperous country like ours try to help its worst off citizens?' I think yes. But there must be limits."Government should help EVERYONE by implementing policies that result in economic growth and low unemployment. Charity is an improper role for government since it would necessarily be rooted in money taken by force from its citizens.

Nothing good comes of theft.

Caring for the indigent is a role for community and church and family, not government.
Re: "But there must be limits. We should NOT be trying to 'elevate' poor people to a middle class lifestyle. Welfare should have limits - especially for able bodied people."Have you REALLY not figured out that government doesn't do "limits"??? It implements new, small programs in order to get its foot in the door, and then those programs grow and grow and grow and GROW. That's how it always is. Government only gets bigger until something - usually its own grotesque obesity - makes it fail.

Decomposed > You believe in taxing Americans to give free stuff to "poor" people?

Decomposed > Nothing is free. If you want government to give something to some people, you're authorizing them to take it from others.

The second statement is absolutely true.

The first? At the time I was thinking how the current obozo-care scam which
was all about 'providing' health care for poor people was costing way more
than it ought.

The big question is 'Should a prosperous country like ours try to help its worst off citizens?'

I think yes.
But there must be limits. We should NOT be trying to 'elevate' poor people
to a middle class lifestyle. Welfare should have limits - especially for
able bodied people.
