Why do we have an obligation to take care of those in need? Most anyone can come up with a legitimate need. The Constitution doesn't provide for that.

The only people who should be taken care of by the federal government are veterans. The states can do what they want.

I wasn’t thinking of it on a State vs. Federal level.

Nor even a State vs. person level.

But rather at a “society” level.

Good, able-bodied people, should take care of those in need, as a matter of Judeo-Christian ethics.

I fully concur the level of government involvement should be minimized and pushed to the most local level possible.

I didn't see your #12 before I posted #16. I could have just said "amen" to yours.
