I fully support people who are in true need via food stamps, insurance, etc., but I think we all agree that too many people take advantage of these programs. .......why "work" for something if you can get it free? Maybe it is hard to see ones self in need of such assistance, but there has to be some sense of individual responsibility when it comes to caring and providing for ones family. I know families where both husband and wife work and in some cases one of them may work two jobs. If you know that something is going to be free, you will have less desire to work. As an example, if cell phones were not offered for free to certain individuals, most would find a way to have a phone even though some may resort to theft as a means of possession. We don't need to make assistance available if there is not something required in return. Also, I have one qustion, how many people are able to afford insurance but for whatever reason(selfishness or otherwise) elect to go uninsured?
