Universal Access: If I can't afford it, someone else has to buy it for me.
Therein lies the reasoning behind the complaints.
If you can't afford food, do you just deserve to starve? Is that your answer?

I have enough trouble keeping my own family fed. Why should I take on YOU and YOUR kids as some additional burden? Why should *I* have to provide, not only for myself and MY family, but you and your family as well?
So let's say you lose your job and have trouble making ends meet. What happens then?

Not trying to start an argument, just having a discussion.
Let's say I do. Is it fair that I send you the bill?
Yep. This subject just goes to show that there's always some form of government redistribution that otherwise "keep government out of my XYZ" guys can stand behind.
If you lost your job and couldn't afford food I would buy you and your family a meal, or bring you something. No squirrel I promise you.
Let's dispense with this silly argument. Government handouts are not equivalent to your private charitable giving. Let's use a real analogy.
So, he lost his job and can't afford food. Would you come over to my house with a gun, point it in my face, and take food from my family to give to him?
That is a proper analogy to compare to the government redistribution that you are advocating.
Question: if my responsibility to pay for other people's kids to be fed, educated, housed, clothed, and transported prevents me from sending my kids to better colleges, getting them better tutors/access to better trades programs etc who is to blame? Me, for not planning to pay for other people, or the other people for demanding that I pay for their lack?
Hey no problem, stop spending on the front end for kids and we WILL pay big time on the back end to prosecute and house them in jail. You may not want to pay to feed the kids but we will pay one way or another. Just call 911 when these kids get turned away by the schools and they decide to start stealing your stuff.Question: if my responsibility to pay for other people's kids to be fed, educated, housed, clothed, and transported prevents me from sending my kids to better colleges, getting them better tutors/access to better trades programs etc who is to blame?

We pay big time with the culture of dependence creating a sense of entitlement. They steal, not out of destitution, but out of a sense of entitlement. If I were stealing because I needed food I'd steal food, not flat screen televisions.Hey no problem, stop spending on the front end for kids and we WILL pay big time on the back end to prosecute and house them in jail.
