>>No conservative would object to government...assistance to two legs of the social triage.<<

Actually, I do object. It is not the government’s job and it violates the spirit behind the Biblical concept of giving and receiving. The core spirit is the giver gives voluntarily. The government takes the funds as taxes via the power of the gun. As a taxpayer I have lost all choice in the matter.

Everything is about WHY. Why do we give?

I understand your objection. Indeed, I sympathize with it.

Consider the objectionable statement to be a stipulation for the purpose of argument.
