Damn closet liberal! I am trying to move past what is perceived as independent, if that is possible. I hope to someday describe myself as Egalitarian. I think the Founding Fathers were all about that.

Food stamps, social security, etc.
I mean, we contributed to these programs, right? So my thinking usually goes as follows- having contributed, these programs should be available when needed.
I think you're just a nice guy. Sometimes I forget that some people are actually in need. Unfortunately, though... I think the programs are used more for political leverage, rather than real benefit or charity. ...guess that's a topic for a different forum. Either way, thanks for your input.
