My point was, who decides what is lazy and irresponsible?

Lazy = not trying to get a job. Choosing the easy path without thinking about the future ie. dropping out of HS to take care of your child while working part time at McDonalds and then applying for Food stamps and government assistance.
Actually, the government has a decent method of defining who is "lazy" and who is not. If only the rules were followed...
Irresponsible:
We need to eliminate all programs that compensate people for not taking necessary precautions. For example, a homeowner loses a $300,000 house in a hurricane and is uninsured. Do they deserve federal assistance? Heck no. If you have an investment like that, you need to protect it.
If you are able to have enough money to budget out approximately $110/month, you can afford healthcare. Most people who have educations and even DECENT fulltime jobs can adjust their lifestyles accordingly to have that money. Being uninsured is lazy and irresponsible in my opinion.

I've never had a fire at my house that required calling the fire department. Neither have, to my knowledge, have my parents, my sister, my inlaws, my husband's 5 siblings or my grandparents. Regardless of this, my taxes still pay for fire services, whether I want it or not, whether I agree with it or not. It's for our greater good.

Again, where from anything I've written could you even infer that I'm against the fire department?
