<<<<The problem is that the government is constantly imposing the responsibility upon responsible citizens for the activity of the many promiscuous people who act irresponsibly. We end up paying for their children, their diseases, their drug problems. I have no problem with people who want to act irresponsibly, but they will have to accept the consequences of their actions and not pass them on to the rest of us.>>>>

Good argument. And to a point I agree.
Soooooo, that would also apply to those elites that do the same thing right? Bankers for instance who brought down the house of cards and put hard working people into default? How is it just they continue live a life of luxury while the hard working man that might now need help to pay for food to feed his family gets nothing under your perfect world? Orrrrrrr, do we really want to fill up our streets with hungry children begging for food because their parents were irresponsible? Not very compassionate. ...........But then in agreement to your point; what sense does it make for a hard working individual to have to pay taxes and eat hamburger so that food stamps enable that person to eat prime rib? Give them basic food so no one starves - but not money.
