That's my uncle's point of view, and in a way I can understand it. I wouldn't want some federal agency telling me how I have to live my life or penalizing me because I'm not living my life in an acceptable way.

The part I don't understand is how the segment of people who consider themselves to be righteous people can't imagine how helping someone you don't know, will never meet, or may not even want to know to get a job, stay fed, get some education, pay bills they can't pay due to unexpected circumstances, etc. in order to have one more day of relative happiness... how can those people reconcile the two beliefs?
