It's a far smaller number (though substantial), and the truly needy can be effectively helped without wrecking the current system.<br /><br />Also, it is not petty politics to oppose and resist socialism and attempt to preserve basic liberty, not to mention our paychecks. This particular issue is a vehicle for government control of our lives 24/7 and cradle to grave. There's way too much nanny-state already.
