Didn't say that they are all a bunch of lazy bums. Just don't see how it is justifiable to take money from those who earned it and give it to those who don't.
Since you are passionate about this topic, why don't you tell me, since no other liberal I have talked to yet has been able too- what makes it right to take money from those who earn and give it to those that don't?
How do you justify welfare?
And let me counter your first salvo of "Because it is the right thing to do" with my reply of "I don't think it is the right thing to do". So now that that opinion and my opinion cancel each other out, give me a legitimate reason why it is okay.
I am not saying that charity is wrong. If you want to give a third of your income to help people without jobs, you can do that. It is your choice. I would not take charity and I don't expect to give any either.
