Idiot.  Just because the government offers free crack money and people 
take them up on the offer does *NOT* means they *NEED* it.

In the old days, most Americans had pride and would rather starve before 
going on the dole.  Today, the stigma of being on the dole has 
evaporated, and so have the criteria to qualify.  Any fool who can remove 
his buttocks from the couch long enough to shuffle down to the welfare 
office now qualifies, and you use the fact that the standards have been 
lowered as evidence that some sort of "crisis" exists.

No, it is *YOU* who compare people to animals.  Human beings have free 
will and dignity, animals don't.  Under socialism, people are nothing 
more than domesticated animals, to be fed, clothed and sheltered by Big 
Shepherd.
