Again Larry, if you were to be intellectually honest you would find
that 'homeless' people are largely that way because of decisions
they have (or have not) made. It is not my responsibility to comphensate
others for their failure to be responsible. For some reason you
do... and so does socialistic governments. THIS is where we differ.

For example, if I, as a respinsible parent were confronted by my
child wanting to quit school, I would let them do it only if they
signed a legal document that stated they could make no claim
against me for future benefits. They voluntarily decided to
SQUANDER a free education for themsleves and I do not feel
responsible for the consequences of their actions.

This is never required of welfare recipients in this country...
but it should. Most of the ones I see drive a car (albeit an old
gas guzzler [which we subsidize]) and have a cell phone and several
children, more than likely cable or satellite TV etc. etc. They
are NOT poor.

People who live on the street CHOOSE that life Larry. How can you
argue that they can not find work when ILLEGALS who can't even speak
english risk their lives to cross a border to come here work?

I'm sorry, but your bleeding heart liberal-socialist ideas do NOT
work and do NOT hold water. They are not rationally justifiable.
