Thank you. I already have a contingency plan to move to a friend's family farm in Iowa (I'm in charge of defending the farm), but one can't have too many contingency plans.
See, it's not a "dole" if people voluntarily give to it and have the option of opting out. In that case, it's called "charity" and I have no problem with it (and give quite a bit to myself). When the giving is compulsory and the giver can't influence how the money is spent (and I consider choosing not to give a method of exerting such influence), then I have major problems with it.
