ORIGINAL: fucktoyprincess FR Yes, it happens every time. When an emergency arises the conservatives and religious right who do not support the redistribution of income and believe in people taking responsibility for themselves are then standing in line to receive federal and state assistance. Again, I support the redistribution of wealth. But for those of you who do NOT support the concept of redistribution of wealth, and vote at every turn to deny OTHERS government assistance, please explain to me WHY exactly YOU are entitled to assistance now. Why is YOUR need any greater than that of anyone else? Why is it when people attack liberals it is about unnecessary "handouts" that conservative don't feel like paying for, but when it is conservatives who are hurt, they require necessary "assistance" and I am expected to pay. I'm happy to pay my taxes to help others. BUT it really bugs me when my tax dollars go to people who actually fight the concept of redistribution at every turn. Happy to get a handout when THEY are the ones in trouble. It's just those OTHER people who shouldn't get handouts. Ah yes, hypocrisy, gotta love it. That's easy. They paid for it! Government redistribution of wealth is nothing more than government sponsored insurance, force paid by the people, and doled out by government to whom it decides should receive it. BUT it really bugs me when my tax dollars go to people who actually fight the concept of redistribution at every turn. Well it should. On the other hand, should those whom are forced to support what they vehemently disagree with (government redistribution) be denied their claim for coverage (asking for the handout) which they have every right to make because they paid for it? There is no hypocrisy there.
