You're damn right my feelings come from deep inside. It's called self survival. I'll help anyone who is willing to help himself, but I don't like the government telling me who to lend a hand to. What I do is charity. What you want is socialism. I'm a capitalist, you're a communist.
Is that clear enough for you?
Where IS your line drawn? Seriously. What about civil maintenance of roads and bridges? Or public education? Or an FAA to monitor air flight paths?
Seriously, where and how would you draw the line to public tax dollars being spent? I see abuse when I look at public spending, too. Is the abuse that I see more or less important than the abuse that you or anyone else sees?
There are some damned important issues here that never get discussed.
