Why the hell is the government forcing us to pay for free cell service for others?

The money quote: "By becoming a segment of people's regular income rather than a temporary splint for a temporary problem, our government welfare mechanisms seem to be motivated by something other than...well, people's welfare."
The supposedly compassionate politicians who champion these government giveaways are not necessarily driven by compassion. They are not concerned with the welfare of the welfare beneficiaries; just by how they will vote. These politicians figure that the welfare recipients will vote for the people who promise goodies from the government. For the politician it is just the cold, hard calculus of getting elected. They can vote to spend other people's money on programs that have no benefit other than ensuring their own re-election. What they don't consider or care about is the corrosive effect on the country. Not only are these politicians spending money the government doesn't have, thereby imposing a crushing debt burden on future generations, they are also destroying the work ethic and initiative of the recipients. These people will never seek to better themselves as long as the government is there to hand out scraps from the table. They will be stuck in a lifelong cycle of poverty and dependence; robbed of the very skills and motivation that they need to free themselves. They are slaves on the liberal government plantation; bound by the chains of dependence.
