That's obviously not a position but rather an incredulous question. Who are "those you create"? Offspring? Otherwise your statement makes zero sense.

You probably expected the responses you've gotten. The majority here seems to be of the inclination to oppose all social assistance rather than chance an undeserved recipient. Compassion is a victim of the party's dogma. Sorry i can't rep you agin.

It blows my mind how blunt some of those posters are about those feelings. I think I liked it better when the contempt was hidden.

Yeah, the wireline CWA union part. AT&T and Verizon are dumping those business units as quickly as they can find suckers to take them. FairPoint has the Maine, New Hampshire, & Vermont Verizon wireline business unit and has gone bankrupt. Frontier has 4.8 million former Verizon subscribers and bought the Connecticut wireline business from AT&T.
