In your mind, is blowing the "last of his cash on hookers and booze" the median behavior of people who are short on rent?

- xyzzyz 6y agoNo, but the point is that when my friends ask me for help, I can use the circumstances under which they got themselves into needing help in my decision of whether I help them, and whether there is any moral obligation on me to help them. With government, there is no such option: they will take my money by force, use it for anything at all that they might possibly want, and all I can say is something on the order of one or two bits of feedback every 4-5 years.
- dahfizz 6y agoIn your mind, does that description fit absolutely nobody who is short on rent?
- mcguire 6y agoNot enough to make it a serious problem. But then I'm neither a Puritanical moralist nor a "better 10 (or 100) good people starve than one bad person gets benefits", either.
