[quote=Anonymous]Your stereotypical assumptions are rather ridiculous.

Guess who receives tax-funded assistance?

Pretty much everyone. Did you receive a pell grant or financial aid for college? That's basically welfare.

You know who else receives assistance?

People with disabilities---mental and physical. 
(Damn those lazy, greedy people with disabilities!)

You know who else?
The elderly. 
(Damn those greedy little old ladies!)

You know who else? Kids transitioning from the child welfare system.
(Damn those kids!)

I could go on, but why bother?

I encourage you to make friends with someone who works at your local housing authority so you can learn about the critical services they provide to our vulnerable neighbors.

I encourage you to research the meals on wheels programs that fill the gap for vulnerable people who need food.

I can't imagine having the time or energy to waste on obsessing over "who's getting a free ride." It's befuddling. A normal, happy person would be grateful for what he has, and would be similarly grateful to the government and community providers for assisting vulnerable people.

I for one do not want to live in a community where vulnerable people are left to fend for themselves. [/quote]
