It is a worthwhile question to ask: “why-should-I-pay-for-you?”. People need to be responsible for their own lives and should not expect others to take care of them and their irresponsible acts. Why should those that act responsibly be penalized? That said, there should be some way to cover those who are beset by circumstances beyond their control, but how do you tell that it was circumstances beyond their control vs. lack of responsibility in their behavior?[/quote]

If we are going to think your way, we should first repeal the property taxes. Why should I pay for other people’s kids’ education?

Having babies is a choice that people make.

Parents should pay to send their kids to public schools. Only poor kids would get subsidized education.

I think that health care is more important than education.[/quote]

I personally think education is more important than health care. but anyhow, the questions by bob are just plain silly.
