that's why I believe welfare is a necessity in society.

Why does there need to be a government program when private charities and the poor individual's close friends and family could do the job?

Besides, don't I have a right to be greedy?

All my friends at school who have rich parents also had rich grandparents. Wealth seems to be inherited a good deal of the time. Maybe not the majority of the time, but a good portion of it.

Inherited, huh?

My grandfather grew up dirt poor during the depression. My father grew up in a small ranch house in a lower middle-class family.
Now, he owns a million-dollar home with a quarter-of-a-million-dollar swimming pool and cabana in the back, and we're purchasing beach-front property in Panama City.

Do you have any idea how my father obtained all that wealth?
By being damn good at his job and working his ass off.

You don't know enough about reality to make such an ignorant statement as that.
