You just seem to want to stamp your feet and say it isn't fair. Maybe not, but then life often is not. If you don't want to have to pay for any of the mistakes of other human beings, I suggest you move to a deserted island.
Beastie you stamp your foot all the time about things that are unfair. Everybody does.
It's either a desserted island, trying to wage a war, or a slow march down into servitude. The problem is that we're out of desserted islands and new frontiers.

And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

At least when we're assisting children in poverty, there's some hope of a payback one day, in terms of helping create a productive citizen. What hope of any decent payback do we have to those two wars? It seems to be that the payback is even more hatred of the US.
by the way, I posted this before reading krose's comments, who already addressed this
I hope you don't mind living under Sharia law then. It doesn't seem that Obama's approach in the middle east is working out much better right now. I see the opposite. I see welfare as producing more people dependent on welfare and expecting more and the war machine as a benefit to everyone who doesn't want to convert to Islam.

Well, a lot of these people are the ones who are soldiers or are going to wipe your ass when you're old.

Is that your idea of fairness? What are you talking about? I already have to pay long term care insurance twice. Once for myself and 10% of my income to this leviathan called FICA! Given my family history I doubt I'll collect on either of them.
Are you saying they'll be soldiers one day? That's not the issue. The issue is women who have children then force society to pay for it. You think that's fair just because the child might grow up to get a job and pay taxes many years down the road?
