Right now, you're paying for welfare in the form of taxes.
Also, your insurance premiums cover the costs of deadbeats without insurance as well as deadbeats that steal cars and break into peoples' houses.
Youre paying in lots of ways. If more people were buying computers, they'd cost less. Same with everything else.
Immigrants are coming into this country because we've got jobs that welfare recipients won't take.
I really wonder if you're on the same planet as the rest of us, Legion. It seems clear you are NOT looking at this broad picture. Which is why your viewpoints make us scratch our heads. Wake up. I'm not just criticising to be nasty. Do you really understand the impact of underachieving? You apparently haven't thought about the real cost.

Supe, you are missing Legion's point that he should not be held responsible for other people's band aids in the first place let alone an expensive long term treatment plan.
Even though some of us may not like it, as the tax codes are now, we are being forced to take responsibility for others, your philosophy is that we should pay even more to now to avoid paying much more later. I say we are paying plenty now and at some point, enough has to be enough.
I do not have a problem with mentoring, but no amount of money from the govt is going to provide that and ultimately the only way a large number of welfare abusers are going to help themselves, is when it gets TOUGHER to live off of the govt rather than EASIER.
