    Yeah but they are specifically not letting you get away with that tactic. You can’t just pick and choose the parts of the argument that are best suited to your own opinions. What kind of change would ever be enacted if we go around saying we shouldn’t do anything for people because a certain percentage might be benefiting when they don’t need it?

    If I decide to give away the rest of my cake and the fattest man in the room eats it…well I’m just happy someone got cake who wanted it!

        Sorry then, I thought you were just trying to point out that it will help people who don’t need it. Text/words is hard to interpret sometimes!

        Sorry about that. You comment just came across pretty sarcastic and I think more people also read it that way
