Why the HELL would you end welfare programs and social security? ------------ Your happiness is not a right. It is a privilege. You can pursuit it all you want but you're not entitled to be happy. |

>Why the HELL would you end welfare programs and social security?
If I recall correctly, the quiz only said that welfare and ss should be privatized/replaced with charity, not just ended and not given a replacement. |

According to your answers, the political group that agrees with you most is...
LIBERTARIAN Libertarians support maximum liberty in both personal and economic matters. They advocate a much smaller government; one that is limited to protecting individuals from coercion and violence. Libertarians tend to embrace individual responsibility, oppose government bureaucracy and taxes, promote private charity, tolerate diverse lifestyles, support the free market, and defend civil liberties.

How can you morally and support leaving people in need on the streets?
Don't even claim charities will help, the food stamp budget (US) alone has $80 Billion
Charity: $5 billion |

While that particular quote by Twain was good I would be careful praising him. He is a possible socialist. |

| But then, there was some person who was buying groceries, and she paid for them with Food Stamps, and then she paid for some expensive wine with her own money. |

@Flat
Wow, you seem like a terrible person. Do you have a mental disorder or are you just a cruel person?
@Dog
Because the lower class can't have a nice bottle of wine every once in a while. This is such a typical anti-government thing people who hold your views say, is setting expectations for the poor. |

Do you have a mental disorder or are you just a cruel person? ----------------------- I simply believe if you fall flat on your face it isn't my job to pay for your hospital bills. I don't care, call me cruel. It will not stop me from thinking this way. As your success should lye in your own hands as well as your failure and you shouldn't expect anybody else to help you if you fail |

I found this on a revolutionary site. Meanwhile, Clemens underwent a miserable apprenticeship as a riverboat pilot. In Life on the Mississippi, he describes the development of a closed-shop union and the benefits reaped by all riverboat workers. This chapter was reprinted and read in union halls throughout the 1880s and 1890s. Most of these statements are wrong. He was not miserable as a riverboat pilot, he did not start a union, and he did not join any unions. |

Apathy for those who chose to not care in life themselves (i.e. the poor) and instead refuse to work hard is not really cruel or terrible. It's just exchanging apathy for apathy. Maybe if the poor actually got up and did something productive once in a while, perhaps the rich would be generous enough to donate something to charity. But never should that money be stolen from the rich to be given to the poor.
Also, that was probably worded in a provocative way and I apologize if it offended you. Obviously not all poor people are poor because of their own choices. I'm just trying to say that from flatline's point of view, it's not his responsibility to care for people who don't try to succeed.
>Because the lower class can't have a nice bottle of wine every once in a while.
Let's assume welfare is justified. Even then, that welfare should only be giving the bare minimum to people - so no wine. Wine is a privilege, not a right. |
