Maybe we should move this thread to Politics and Society, and then when Hellfish doesn't nuke it we'll know that no one is being censored.
People need to stop blaming others for their own problems or lack of success.
So much this. I have no problem paying taxes to fund programs to help out people who have,
through no fault of their own, ended up in hardship - serious illnesses/disabilities preventing people from working or forcing them to provide care to relatives, unexpected deaths, natural disasters, that kind of thing. I'm definitely not "rich", but I worked damned hard to get to where I am in life, and I continue to work damn hard to provide for my family, and I'm fed up of being forced to subsidize the lazy.
