Who said anything about giving people free money so that they can sit home and play video games all day?

Why are you acting like that's in any way comparable to sheltering unhoused people?

Let's focus on one thing at a time; I'm not going to chase down every irrelevant diversion you throw out.

Because more and more, people (at least in America) are feeling entitled to get free stuff without contributing to society.

It's been such a turnaround in attitude. Back in the WWII era, people went all out to support their community and the country. People would help their neighbors when needed. People wouldn't want to go on welfare unless they had to. Then they worked hard to get off it.

Nowadays it seems that people encourage each other to get government money and don't want to do anything for themselves. They'll have children they don't care about just to get more money from the government. It's ridiculous.

Wow, Capitalism is breeding Capitalists with Capitalist ideas? (get government money and don’t want to do anything for themselves) But it's not Capitalism's fault you say...

I have nothing more to say to you.

Rant at someone else.
