And here we have the liberal Godwin's Law except this argument really has no bearing in this thread. We pay state and local taxes that are supposes to take care of these things, but the federal government would rather take money from people in each state only to send it back to the states and tell them how to spend it. You see, conservatives think things like you mentioned would be better served locally rather than federally. I also love how you bring SSI into your point, like people aren't forced to pay into it their whole life but are hypocrites if they expect to get what they are promised. Typical liberal, the only people you want getting anything from the government are people who have paid nothing into it.
