I always say pay for your own stuff. People here are tired of it. I don’t care.

Armed robbery should never be acceptable and that is how everything the state does is paid for.

Of course it's not acceptable. Anyone who has worked for their own knows this. But when the unproductive parasites form into an angry, demanding mob, it's hard to say no when they have a gun pointed at your head. That's why I stay in America. We have enough well armed, resourceful patriots to fight back against the forces of evil, if push ever comes to shove. Plus, we have plenty enough to go around to keep the masses satiated.

No. Pay for your own stuff, especially your bad decisions.

A anti-medicare and social security and food stamp thread. I like the wording this time! Not misleading at all!

Being moral has nothing to do with it. If someone agrees to pay your bills for nothing or for something in exchange, that's your business!

The word "force" doesn't indicate agreement.

Yet you, and one would assume a lot of others on here proselytizing as you do, enjoy your medical insurance being provided by your union collective bargaining using the collective pool of spreading costs, otherwise known as wealth redistribution. Using Paul's and Peter's money to pay for Fred's knee replacement.

My, my; there's a word for that particular human conundrum...…hypocritical.
