| I received some good store bought gifts. It was great to be with family and friends, but the best gift was when my daughter and her family showed up for dinner and my (only, and very special) grandson was wearing a shirt that read, "I'm going to be a big brother". Another one to spoil rotten! I can't wait!

Thus, at the root of the welfare state is the immorality of intimidation, threats and coercion backed up with the threat of violence by the agents of the U.S. Congress. In order for Congress to do what some Americans deem as good, it must first do evil. It must do that which if done privately would mean a jail sentence; namely, take the property of one American to give to another."
