It is not the government's right to give money to the poor. They are funding these programs with our taxes. We are paying for people to be lazy and not get a job. The government is promoting irresponsibility and lack of work ethic.

I want to throw a hypothetical situation at you.

Say you and a member of your family are involved in a car crash that you are at fault or the insurance doesn't quite cover the cost of your vehicle and you end up in the hospital for a month each, which hits your income and in the US, you end up having to pay tens of thousands of dollars. Suddenly, you are in massive debt and can't afford rent.

What do you do?
