Welfare

    When you love strangers so much that you're willing to have the government steal money from another stranger to help them out.

    (Note: I didn't come up with this, and I've been unable to find the original author.)

      This is great - I have never seen the concept of welfare presented so well.

      Not only is Welfare a temporary means for single mothers, it's the key reason 49% of the US population isn't homeless.

      If I put a gun to your head and stole your money, and then gave the stolen money to single mothers, I'm still guilty of a crime, am I not?

      If I hired someone to put a gun to your head, and then they stole your money, gave it to me, and then I gave it to single mothers, does that absolve me of criminal liability?

      If me and a bunch of my friends vote to hire the government to take money from *you*, and if you don't pay up, men with guns will come and take you to prison.

      Now we're going to give the money to single mothers, after we take a nice chunk of it for ourselves.

      Does that make it okay?
