I've been numb to Sci-Fi's brand of threadbare and faux concerns for some time now.

I'll elaborate on this. Are you not concerned that we have people in this country that are poor and unable to take care of themselves? Are you not concerned that we have people walking the streets, homeless, and need help but yet do not get what they need?

And then here we have, people like you wanting to take away the rights of those who are in need to be able to have access to food, water, money for necessities that they need. So what, a small portion of them are the type that take advantage. There are a small portion of people that take advantage of everything.

You have a problem with the ten people who abuse the welfare system, meanwhile tens of thousands of the rich get away with tax fraud and who knows what else to avoid having to pay the tax that they should have to pay.

Supposedly you're the guy who considers current events and then bases his opinions on fact huh? I can tell you one thing for sure, you haven't a come close to verifying that the ratio of abusers/takers of the US welfare system is one in ten thousand. But such is why you libs do much better when limiting your discussions of these matters to yourselves. Because the moment you wade in on a forum with actual conservatives, we are forced to point out your distortions, mistruths and bad assumptions.

I know for a fact that a large number of people on welfare are in fact, both young and able bodied. I see them out all the time out buying stuff because I find myself in line with them. And I recognize the electronic benefit transfer card they swipe. But past that I already stated that I would be okay with it if I had any confidence at all that they'd been properly vetted as being factually needy. Even then they ought to have to report to some kind of job in order to qualify. Just sitting around the Hud-quarters is extremely presumptive IMHO.

But before libs can launch off into one of their canned arguments they must first make their usual false assertions. Not one person on this forum has ever indicated they were against the national safety net.

Genesis 3:19 (KJV)
19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

1 Timothy 5:8 (KJV)
8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
