"Government income redistribution programs produce the same result as theft. In fact, that's what a thief does; he redistributes income. The difference between government and thievery is mostly a matter of legality."
There's so much truth in this man's words.

"The federal government shall not adopt any policies that transfer income (resources) from some Americans to other Americans." He agrees with James Madison, the father of our Constitution, who said, "I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents."

You can say it's the poor and welfare queens all you want. Truth is most of this "welfare spending" is going to the elderly - the baby boomers. Bryce do your folks get social security? Maybe you should start the argument at the dinner table.

Reaching into your pockets to help your fellow man in need is praiseworthy. Sticking your hands into other peoples' pockets to do the same is despicable.
- So, did you ask your folks to give back their social security checks?TheBlueOne

TBO: In 2005, total federal, state and local government expenditures on 85 welfare programs were $620 billion. That's larger than national defense ($495 billion) or public education ($472 billion). The 2005 official poverty count was 37 million persons. That means welfare expenditures per poor person were $16,750, or $67,000 for a poor family of four.
- what % of that $620 million was social security?TheBlueOne
