It's not Bush. It's not "The System". It's not "The Government".
It's me. You come over to my house every month, take a third of every dollar that I earn, and use it to pay your rent. Regardless of how needy, how tragic your life circumstances, how difficult it may be for you to go out and earn a living, the basic reality is that I'm paying your rent for you. The fact that the IRS and SSI act as your agents doesn't obviate the fundamental exchange.
Given that reality, don't I have a right to argue against it? Shouldn't I vote for people who pledge to fight for my right to not pay your rent? And when those people follow through on their promises, shouldn't I applaud them?
I think I'll start a letter writing campaign of my own.
