Do you have health insurance?
Do you think it's fair for taxpayers to have to pay for people's social security and disability benefits when these people haven't taken care of themselves? If the only reason they're disabled is because they're obese, have really bad arthritis, have had a stroke, etc...and are no long physically able to work?

Yes, it's fair, and more importantly, morally right to help others. That people take advantage of the system is unfortunate but unavoidable.

Well, what happens when you are older or unemployed and have no social security or disability. How will you survive? Suppose you don't save up any money to take care of yourself, how will you pay your expenses? I would rather have my taxes go toward someone else than to buy military weapons to invade countries and kill everyone.

No I do not think working people should HAVE to buy health insurance for non-working people. I think if you pay in social security all of your life you should certainly reep the benefits of it however.
