Anyway, I will stay for a while as I feel we all need to open our eyes to every side of every story.
I am closer to being conservative than liberal. I don't want to give away the farm, but I cannot watch any social or financial group suffer. When I hear MY MONEY or MY HARD WORK, I feel the point most missed is that the majority of those that did not make it big in this great country did in fact try hard to do so. I have known so many good people over the years that have made it to the top of the money wagon yet still complain vigorously when the unfortunate want things like health care, education and a safe environment to live in. Most of us take these crucial issues on as just another monthly payment like the car insurance or groceries. If you live comfortable in The Villages and disagree with my opinion on this, COULD YOU POSSIBLY BE A LITTLE GREEDY. I also don't want socialism, but could we not just allow the low end of our population to have the basic comforts of a rich life like we have. Don't forget the saying "for the grace of GOD, there go I"
Certainly not all, but I see many of my friends that Scream PRO-LIFE say no to helping the poor children with PROPER health care and education. If you don't plan to help them along the road to success, then keep you opinion to yourself and let those responsible for the future of the child make the very difficult choice.
Hows that for an opinion BKCunningham. lol

Not speaking for anyone but me but good opinions.
Again you are oversimplifying it all. To be against government programs that simply dole out money for whatever reason does not make you someone who is spoiled or not caring.
Allow me to use the housing problem which has affected everyone rich, poor and in between. It was programs made to allow the folks you talk about to buy homes..no questions...they cant get a mortgage and somehow it was decided they DESERVE it. Ok...programs put in place to GIVE....and you see the results.
You are labeling anyone who is against HAND OUTS as someone who is against CHARITY and GIVING. THERE is a huge difference
