Yes...you're right.
I'd much rather my tax dollars go to ********s** with EBT cards to spend on beer, cigs, and junkfood than someone who needs healthcare for a chronic medical condition.

My point here is that bailing out one shitty mega-corporation run into the ground by greed and mismanagement costs way more than feeding all the "******s" you describe.
Also, how is healthcare any different than feeding folks? Last I checked you survive longer with cancer than you do without food.
Either way I don't sympathize with people who abuse the system. I just realize that without the system that enables these pieces of shit many people who have done nothing wrong are just having a shitty time would be fucked out of the help they need. I don't feel it's right to fuck over those in need just to feel justified in fucking over those who abuse the system. It's like red99. It will be fun as fuck and hopefully Rogean and Nilbog will take pity on those of us dying for some srs PvP and shake off the fucking haters abusing the system and shitting it up for everyone. I want an awesome EQ PvP server even if I know that having one means attracting all the scum of the EQ world. Just like welfares : P
The only people I seriously feel bad for in any of these situations are the children. They can't really help that their parents are pieces of shit and only had them to get more gubment monies or even that their parents are just poor and/or stupid and can't properly care for them. If even a tiny bit of the money their parents milk the government for goes to helping out these little guys and maybe even encouraging some of them to not grow up to be the pieces of shit their parents are? Then I feel it's justified.
People like Tralina I am indifferent about. Do I think she should get free money? No. Would I rather my money be spent on helping some college students get by rather than 100009090909187389147892789723 of the other things the US government is spending my tax dollars on? Hell yes. I'd probably even say I'd rather them spend it on that than over half of what it gets spent on now.
It's not like if they said "FUCK YOU TRALINA NO LUNCH FOR YOU" that I would suddenly have more money in my pocket. They would spend it on something else. And even if they were like "OH HERE WE HAVE CANCELLED WELFARE, FUCK POOR PEOPLE, HERE IS THE 3 CENTS OUT OF THE 20K YOU SPENT LAST YEAR ON TAXES THAT WAS GOING TO FEED PEOPLE LIKE HER" that I would somehow live a better life. I mean really, let's keep things in perspective here.
*shrug*
Personally I think they should test for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine when you apply for welfare, and every month when you get your check. They should also require all women on welfare to be on gubment supplied birth control, the shot not the pill, and you should get it every 3rd welfare check. Is that gonna happen? Fuck no. But that would solve your problem and still let Tralina have lunch.
