Why can't libertarians see how much like a two-year-old throwing a tantrum it makes them sound?
From the fb thread again (paraphrased): Sure, not everyone who goes on unemployment/welfare will become dependent; it depends on their priorities. But a lot of people are lazy, so they will become dependent, and therefore social safety nets are bad.
I don't see how they completely overlook the inherent classism, Calvinism, and general selfishness of this outlook. (Welfare encourages dependency; poor people are poor because they're lazy [see study referenced in original post]; welfare should be abolished to Teach Those Lazy Fucking Poor People a Lesson.)
