This post of yours regarding "personal responsibility", WTF, flies in the face of your previous and sustained advocacy for the government to provide free health care, free food stamps, free phones, free college tuition, unlimited unemployment insurance, subsidized housing, free abortions, etc.

I am not for food stamps or phones.
We already provide free school to kids before college....are you against that? I have paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in school taxes and have never had a child.
I am not for unlimited unemployment insurance.
We already give subsidized housing to almost all homeowners in the form of interest mortgage deduction. You do understand what that means , right?
I probably am for a free abortion because long term it is much cheaper than to house, school and then imprison the potential criminal that people that are not wanting to have kids usually raise. But that is purely a math problem with me, not a moral one. You seem to have no problem having others pay for these criminals imprisonment. Shall I accuse your stated policy's of subsidized prisons. But I would only provide that one free abortion if they then had their tubes tied also.
To be clear, I am for taxes to actually pay for the things that you call free. Like the military. According to your logic, that too is 'free'.
