Our welfare programs do not allow for people to save, but rather to remain dependent upon government. If that is how you want to live, thats fine with me, however, I would rather have the choice.

You do realize, don't you, that that's about $13,000 per year? Show me one 18-year old that's putting that kind of money away, and I'll show you a million that aren't.

Your premise and principle, however, are absolutely right.
