RE: Re: Welfare Recepients withdrawing money in vacation/exotic locations

[Guest guest]

We, as tax payers should pay for paved roads. Who said we should pay no taxes

for things like that? The point was that letting me keep more of my money is not

an expense to the government. Spending my tax money on anything is an expense to

me (us). The money isn't the governments. The government doesn't own any money.

They get it from us. We have a say in how it is " spent " and how much, thanks to

the representative Republic we have.

The medical care insurance we pay for with the money the gov let's us keep, of

course, and the savings I have for such catastrophe's, just in case. My family

helps family and friends, rather than looking for handouts from strangers.

Neighbors help neighbors. Church members help church members and even local

" strangers " . It's an old tried and true American tradition. Then there's

faith...

No. I've decided to keep part time employment doing something that appears

worthwhile helping mentally ill people become nourished, so they can go back out

and do for themselves after getting much needed treatment at the State hospital.
