[QUOTE="FJohnny, post: 16080458, member: 191643"] Most of us would probably agree that a normally hard working guy who is down on his luck or an attractive blond single mom (widowed) need and deserve a hand. Equally, no one really wants to reward the lazy, the addicted or the fit 25 year old who would rather game than work. The problem is that many cases may be somewhere between the easy to identify extremes. If you decide that eligibility has to be judged and you put this in the hands of government wouldn't you just expect them to make a massive bureaucracy? A bunch of little judges with power over the deserving and the ability to pay off the undeserving. And in the end perhaps costing far more than simply helping everyone? It becomes a math problem whose most likely solutions are to help everyone or help no one. Americans are known as the most generous and giving in the world. I would not be surprised to find out that leaving tax dollars with the individual and having the government keep out of it would result in a charity based system that helps the deserving and better encourages the able to work. But could we live with the inevitable cases where some slip through the cracks and are lost? No easy answer. [/QUOTE]
