So I see this meme making the rounds
Here's the evasion in this meme: nothing is stopping you right now from giving money to a needy family. No one will stop you from giving a sandwich to a homeless man. You do not need welfare laws to do any of that on your own initiative.
When you're talking about tax dollars, you're talking about money extracted from people at gunpoint. If you don't pay these taxes, armed men come after you. What you're really saying is that if *other people* don't want to pay for others, you want the government to send armed men after them. Then you pat yourself on the back for being so generous. You congratulate yourself for generosity when you ask that the State extort money from *other people* against their consent.

Just to balance the overall theme here.
Oh and to follow sturg's lead here, I have not and cannot verify these figures either, I just saw it on Facebook and thought it might generate a little light-hearted dialogue.

I saw this one too... agreed that there is a lot to cut out of our foreign policy... but neither party is willing to do it
He took money from SF and never gave it back. That would be a big story if he ever got far in the nomination process.

Well relevant to one who actually admits it, I can think of at least two others who are just like her (and him for that matter) they just hide their forked tongues and fangs a little better.
Oh and to be honest Ayn was pretty darn popular in this very forum not that long ago, if you'll remember. I'm a bit surprised you haven't caught any flack about posting this to be honest.
