27. Oddly enough, maybe not
As I said in my previous post--many of these types take it as gospel that anyone who is needy (sick, poor, disabled) somehow deserves it.

For example, you hear people imply that sick people did something wrong and therefore are to blame for their condition.

Then, when they come down with cancer or MS--well, in their case it was obviously undeserved, because they certainly didn't do anything wrong.

So, for them, help is OK, but it still isn't OK for those other freeloaders.

Remember that Goddess Ayn herself went on the dole when SHE got sick.
