Therefore, to begrudge another living person a decent meal or doctor visit or driving licence simply because he wasn't lucky enough to catch some of the breaks you did is needlessly selfish.
I've also never had my taxes raised to pay for undocumented workers. I have, however, had my taxes raised to pay for bailouts on multibillion dollar banks and auto dealers, and to pay for stadiums owned by billionaires. So who exactly is the drain on resources?
I was presenting a counterpoint to the above argument.
Would you agree though- just because an event has not happened for you doesn't discount it may have happened to others?
I do agree with your argument regarding corporate bailouts- on a multi-billion dollar scale- it is tragically wrong.
On a related note within this discussion, are you for an open and free border? If so, I'd enjoy reading your take on how that would be beneficial to you.
