From dependence to bondage, government aid not free

ALLYAH HUTCHINS had this letter in the September 28 Dispatch/Argus. ..... marks paragraph breaks. "People should not abuse government aid. People who use government aid instead of finding a job, make life harder for those who work because they take money from them through the government. Americans are becoming too lazy to supply their own needs. ..... Parents who have children and abuse government aid are teaching their children that if they do not work, they can still have their needs in life: clothes, medical assistance, food, phones, transportation and money itself. ..... Nobody rides for free in this life. The Bible does not teach us to live this way. II Thessalonians 3:2 states "For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat." ..... America is becoming too dependent on the government to take care of them. ..... If we stay this dependent, we will have no freedom. The government gives us free things, but we are not free to use them as we would if we worked and earned them ourselves. I believe that if the government were more careful and strict on who may use government aid, it could eliminate those who abuse it."
