Well, it isn't free, someone is paying for it, whether it be you be the
income tax or someone else footing the bill, but this point has been
debated ad infinitum in off.topic.debate for
a long time (March-September or something?) if you care to look. I won't
rehash it.

IMHO, since I work two jobs to enjoy the life I have made for myself, I
would be and am upset when I have to pay for a lot of people who do not
contribute to society, and yet still reap the benefits of it.

Well, I feel alienated in this country, mostly be the the leftist
malcontents running things, and the lifestyle I live. But that is
another debate, isn't it?
