It's unfortunate, but it happens. Perhaps with less regulation on the sale of firearms that guy could have better defended himself.

>Not the fault of the concept of taxes. It's the fault of either your nation's passivity or your political system. Sorry, that's how it is.

I agree with you on this. Our political system is fucked. Why should I not be able to fill a hole in the road directly in front of my house with tar and gravel? How is the government regulating that to that extent a benefit for anybody?

>Unless you fully accept letting people die in the streets (with the public sanity problem it entails), or another radical solution, it would cost less to give a good roof and enough money to survive to every homeless person than it is to go halfway and only give out welfare checks and hospital coverage. From a pragmatic situation, it would be better to pamper the lazy asses than to deal with the moral issues (and the worlds' reaction at large), public safety issues (including crime and epidemics) and economical issues when the social ladder stops working.

I'm fine with letting people die in the streets if they aren't willing to go to one of the free student clinics or work to better themselves. There have been times in my life where I was forced to scrounge in dumpsters for enough food to live on because I refused to accept food stamps. You know what? I survived. So can they.

Giving people no incentive to work and better themselves leads to a lazy entitled generation of welfare dependents.
