“it is legal for them to put a gun to your head to make you comply with their will.”


No pun intended, but there’s no point if there’s nothing for them to TAKE.

The is no such thing as government charity.

Everything government does is done at the barrel of a gun.

Oh, really?

Who makes the gov give five generations of welfare more and more money from MY tax dollars? Who makes the gov give food stamps and free phones to welfare recipients? Just yesterday, there was an article about the gov setting up gas stations for free gasoline in welfare areas.

Who is making the gov give zillions of dollars to illegals so they can get free education and free medical care? For every taker, there is someone working to support that leech while having to do without something in their own lives.

Exactly what do welfare recipients contribute to this country? ... other than making more jobs for more and more gov workers filling out paperwork to give away more and more tax dollars?

Back to the original premise of the article, I don't see a problem forcing 'payback' for medical care from an estate after death.

It is the same situation as to why no Democrat will say with any specificity what ‘rich’ is.

The problem with sloth is that any time the ‘government’ takes from producers and gives to ‘takers’ (takers being unfortunates, chronically unemployed, unemployable, and willful indigents) it further steels their assertions that ‘somebody HAS to help’. It encourages vehemence and indignation in the slothful and an outright sense of entitlement equal to none.

With that affirmation, the slothful will embark on all manners of irrational thought and excuses.

Well, I was going on what it was when we had somewhat of a sane government - before the Tyrant Obama. Of course, it does not surprise me that he is willing to surreptitiously steal and tax anything he can get his hands on and still call it ‘redistributional equity.’
