Believe me, if society falls apart because we do not support anti poverty programs, you will pay a lot fucking more just to have a chance to live another day. Taxes are cheaper than trying to live in chaos, giving people a helping hand that need one keeps us out of chaos. I hope no one alerts on your post because I think that people need to see the shit that you wrote.

Nary a question asked of anyone about why they voted Republican if they need health care.
