>A callous wave of the hand and saying "they should pay their own way" in order to be an equal citizen in this country is .. well, elitist, immoral and just plain wrong. There sure doesn't seem to be any shortage of people with their hands in my pocket who get indignant when I point it out. There's nothing elitist, immoral, or wrong in saying people should pay their own way. People of sound mind and body shouldn't be freeloading off their fellow citizens. I realize there's a certain lifestyle people enjoy when it comes to rural living. That's tough. Before automation something like 95% of the population was involved in agriculture. My family was all farmers, if you go back far enough. And yet they all ended up moving where there was work when farming wasn't working out. What makes your family so special that you think I ought to be paying to maintain their chosen lifestyle?
