I could easily get on food stamps if i chose to i choose not to because i want to support myself, some people feel that since these programs are available we deserve to take advantage of them, ive known people who come from very wealthy families who have gotten low income apartments did they really need assistance? no.
Lior you make it sound like its a mitvah doraiysa to go on gov funding these programs were originally started with the intent to help those who cannot help themselves not those who choose not to help themselves.
