Z Jones >> anyone who wasn't a complete asshat would of apologized by now for making such a rediculous argument, taking advantage of peoples misfortune to squeeze his own broken horn,

Why would I apologize for telling the truth? I believe that taking other people's money is wrong and I believe there are consequences for it. I also believe that the workers at Stelco who don't do the wrong things will not have a problem finding a new source of income, just maybe not in this city.

Jason >> God's not punishing Hamilton. He cares about Hamilton and it's people.

So using that logic, parents that punish their children don't care about them? Hardly. The truth is, pain exists to teach us things, not simply to hurt us. I believe that the healthy (not the old nor the sick) people of Hamilton have an obligation to work for the things they want to use. It is simply not moral to think that just because there are people in Toronto (and the rest of the GTA) who earn more, that they should have to subsidize the services we think we are entitled to.

Especially since the money that Hamilton receives is not given by these people out of generosity, but is taken by the government through the threat of force. What is the difference between that and going into a rich persons wallet and taking a few hundred dollars so you can pay for your tuition, etc? There is none. It's simply a rationalization to make you feel less guilty.
