As well, as you so seem to so disdain 'any help,' CORRECT? from the 'evil government,' does that include Social Security benefits for your own 'golden years?' In other words, are you planning to support yourself with NO 'government-provided benefits?' For the next 40 or so years? Don't disdain help, especially helping myself. Won't need SS but it sure as hell is MINE (as much as anything that the government has can belong to the lowly citizen). It wasn't so long ago that there was no such thing as health insurance (and the "health care issue" and somehow (only God knows) we got by. What's so grand about taking initiative away from the individual for their own welfare and well-being? .......unless you need some votes and like to be lord of the manor. What makes you think that the government has any right to be in the "social benefits" business? It just said "promote the general welfare" not run it (into the ground). How's the weather there? Cool but sunny here.
