I know you never *said* that.

I only draw that conclusion from your persistent position that efforts to take public money raised from those who have to nurture potential in those who don't have is theft. If it's theft rather than investment, which is how I view it, this means that you think nurturing the potential of the poor with public money is a bad use of the money.

I know you wouldn't think that someone is undeserving of a shot at the American Dream merely because they're poor, so they must be undeserving independent of their economic condition. Therefore, they must be venal in some way. Why else would they not deserve a little stability, and an opportunity to improve themselves?
