Oh especially then, because "they put their money into it and they DESERVE IT."

Except I did some calculations and the total taxes an individual pays yearly that go into welfare if everyone paid equal taxes and all tax money was divided equally would be around $40 a year at most. Given that in a single month you generally get like $1000 a month on welfare or something like that [depending on the reason] that would mean you would have to work for 25 years for your allocated tax money to pay for one single month of your disability...so that's a load of bullshit from them.

People love to bitch about things that have no bearing on them, and they get all the more vocal and annoying when they know nothing of what they're babbling about but have loads of "righteous" moral outrage over it all the same.
