I'll make no distinction. People act selfishly too, and there is no law against it. I might vote against welfare, then fall on hard times and plea for welfare

I'll make no distinction. People act selfishly too, and there is no law against it. I might vote against welfare, then fall on hard times and plea for welfare. Am I breaking the law? Should the welfare office say "Well, sorry, you used to be against welfare so we can't grant your request?"
