The government was exactly the entity I was attacking in the quote you responded to. What I disagree with is the average working person's unquestioning assumption that the government is really spending the money for what it says it is. Certainly, it is stupid to attack people because they feel taxed enough; just as it is stupid to attack the poor for government spending that they are not the recipients of.

Personally I don't see how being a "swiss watch" makes you more deserving of help than the dropout. People are people, and should be treated humanely.

ASking for help from the government, Bruce - applying for SSDI. Sure, I contributed to my problem by not running down right away and filing for disability. I kept trying to work. Whatever was I thinking of?
Nor do I think I'm any more or any less deserving of help than any other person. It is my personal belief that every single one of us is the equal to that expensive Swiss watch. Every human being has his or her own unique qualities and special talents to offer. I wish for help for us ALL. I am sorry that I failed to convey that in my post, because that means more than anything to me - that so very many good people are going by the wayside for lack of help.
