taxes on the working middle class would rise astronomically.

@icyreb: We are still paying taxes for it regardless of whether it is state or federal funded.

@icyreb: Yeah. I do think that the entire welfare system needs to be rethought though.

I agree. even common sense stuff like when a lady hit the lottery for a million or so, and she was still allowed to collect food stamps and social benefits.. I mean, duh..

@icyreb: Yeah the system needs to be cut back drastically. The government enables people to depend on it way too much instead of fending for themselves.
