I don't think many would begrudge paying some tax to help the disabled, those with congenital birth anomalies or even those with true/serious mental issues. But I think many do not want to subsidize the lazy, the frauds, the scammers and the professional takers who suck at the government teat for generations on end with no end in sight. Those able-bodied individuals who CHOOSE not to work should be forced to get off their butt or forfeit their "benefits" and stop having 6 babies by 6 different fathers to get a larger welfare check so they can buy beer, cigarettes and lotto tickets. My father lived through the depression, remembered the family having 3 cents in the cupboard on Monday that had to last until Friday but never, EVER considered going "on the dole". Now, we have those individuals who not only received it but demand it and think that it is their God given right to mooch of the effort of others. Bring back the WPA work camps of the thirties and let them EARN those benefits and build something at the same time. I'd start by having them widen I-95 to 6 lanes through the Carolinas.
