If you are eligible for a Government benefit, why not use it? And, if the Government wants children to take care of their parents, why pay for their nursing home care? Change the law.

Your point of view is one to consider. I have worked and paid taxes my entire life with NO welfare, even though I could have due to physical issues. Many family members are irresponsible and depend on my tax money to keep them up which infuriates me! If someone is disabled or in a low time of their life that is one thing, but looking to the government (my taxes) to keep them up is another! How many welfare recipients truly deserve my tax money? How many are too proud to ask for help? With that in mind, I agree with following the law to the best advantage for us law abiding tax paying citizens
