It makes you a evil baby killer actually.
But, good point. I think FDW fails to realize, as always, that a strong 'welfare' program should only go so far. The US has a LOT of problems with their food stamp program simply because its easier for people to just take the stamps and get food, then to go out and get a job and PAY for their food.
I have no problem paying for EI when someone loses their job, but I shouldn't be doing that constantly.
There are numerous different ways to provide help to low-income families or those in need, but I think we have a problem sitting down and talking about them because people like FDW are constantly crying and screaming about how the rich are making too much money.
Health care reform is a big problem but because people bitch so much about a private system, health care reform is constantly ignored.
Same with the rest of the 'welfare' programs.
