But would you need to be educated as to the benefits of exercising?
Hmmm... we're in danger of going on a cyclical argument here |

As long as the government doesnt spend tax money on welfare for lazy ghetto bastards or spends tax money on aid to other counties for the lazy ghetto bastards there , then I dont care what they spend tax money on.

I think Education and transportation are the only two legitimate reasons for collecting taxes on the list. (Im speaking of the US here)
If people are educated, they should be smart enough to plan for their own futures and welfare, not depend on the government to forcibly take things from others and redistribute it. |

You know what I find interesting?
No one has voted for welfare I was under the impression that many people supported that, especially in the Western countries. Maybe the sample isn't representative enough |
