Why Are You Against Personal Responsibility?

Question by Stephen T: Why are you against personal responsibility?
I just asked if you’d vote for me, and several people said “no”. I agree that those (elderly) with physical problems need help but not fully functioning 25 year old males with no families. If we have “help” available people will accept it without thinking of the greater good… didn’t you just hear about those 9 people that cost Texas 3 million dollars!!

Liberals always talk about “personal freedom” but what about the personal freedom to not support laziness, corruption, welfare, etc. Are those not our choices?
