I see a lot of people share my views in this matter.
I agree that governments are not a charity. Too many people (esp. here in Canada) expect a handout from the government whenever they need money. NEWS FLASH PEOPLE - Everything the government spends has to be taxed out of the public! There are more efficient ways to help people than use the government.
If the government decides to help, they should at least exempt those that don't need it and make sure that people that DO need it, get it promptly.
Government exists to:
1)Defend national borders,
2) settle disputes with a courts/policing system, and
3)Be the protector of individual rights - not be the prime violator of said rights.
