" It isn't my responsability as a United States citizen to help people that fuck up their lives."
-Vinth

Actually, as a united states citizen under our current system of law, it IS your responsability, and it's the law.

But I don't buy the whole "It's the PRINCIPLE that gets me!", and I don't think it's really the pennies off the dollar that bothers you either.

Either you pathalogically loathe authority or you have a viceral hatred of people getting anything you don't get, no matter how small. You see a guy get food stamps, and you honestly feel as aggrieved as if you personally and all by yourself paid his grocery bill. I can't decide which is bigger, the chip on your shoulder or the beam in your eye.

Honestly, can any one out there calculate the actual dollar amount a person who makes $30,000.00 a year is paying in taxes to welfare recipients? I'm willing to accept that it bothers you, just as the potion of my salary that goes to building faster, better, more lethal killing devices bothers me. But why does it make you SO rabid dog mad?
