Here we go again with the poor children. The emotional argument for "helping the poor children" falls flat when you look at the history of welfare and what it did to those poor children. It didn't make them wealthier. It didn't make them healthier. In fact, it encouraged them to stay in entrenched poverty in failing communities and make the same bad choices their parents made that got them into this mess in the first place.
I believe in helping people who need help. The question is who actually needs help, and who is just a slacker who is too lazy to get a decent job. I know plenty of those people in the surfing community. They live day to day, doing odd jobs and living very simple lives so they can have fun and surf all day, every day. Obama's plan would take my money, the money that I work day and night to earn, and give it to those slackers. There is no f-ing way I am paying for that.
