Why is it ok to use tax dollars for personal things like food stamps, housing and so on? Thats up to you not the government.

Other then a moral belief that you might have, you should not be able to use any tax dollar on any individual needs. Is it that much to ask for people to take care of themselves.

Because as a democratic country, we've decided that is what we want to do. Is there anything else that I can help you with?

Where do we send the cancer patients to die when they can't afford either treatments or housing? How about people with brain damage from a car accident? I guess they can be evicted out onto the sidewalk for all you care, tworent.

I think if you are on any type of government assistance you should be ineligible to vote in any kind of election wether it's state or federal. Even that is asking too much. This last election was like a slave master telling the slave how things are going to be when it should be the other way around.
