Why should I pay tax for some junkie to blow his dole cheque on drugs? the same goes for alchoholic bludgers who would rather drink than pay their own way. It's bad enough that my taxes help pay for a politicians every desire, why should they give money to addicts who don't want to earn it the honest way?

Yes.
But welfare and similar social programs should end immediately anyways. Private charity, churches, etc. should all be handling that kind of stuff. When folks know that they can depend on the government to feed them and any babies they have, they will be lazy and sexually irresponsible. That is common sense. Unfortunately, common sense is not so common anymore.
As for the kids, take the kids away from those parents. Give them to competent people. Even animals are taken away from abusive owners. Do we not care as much for children?

There's a kink in your thinking though, and perhaps you would explain what to do about the children. Most of the people getting aid in the USA have kids, even though they ARE using drugs and alcohol; but if you take the money away the kids starve.
Should we also take all the kids away and put them back in orphanages like they used to have? Then let the druggie parents starve? Or would the druggie parents just steal and kill more? mmmmm I believe the Brits call this a sticky wicket?

I think there are ALOT of people who should lose payments, such as women who won't take birth control and continue to have babies others have to pay for. Drug addicts and alcoholics should go to treatment or be left to their own devices. Then, if they steal for drugs, they can dry out in prison.

"people who do no longer do drugs understand how risky they're" because of the fact needless to say in user-friendly terms the uneducated take drugs, and taking drugs does not instruct you on the subject of the harms of them (does not that advise that there are not any harms?). "they want no longer something to do with them or all and sundry who does them" Delete ninety% of the music on your iPod then. i'm guessing. "the only acquaintances druggies have are different druggies" genuinely, no longer everybody is as prejudiced as you're in the direction of people who take drugs. "drugs under no circumstances did all and sundry any sturdy." Ignoring all of those people who've been helped by technique of scientific hashish, or who've been inspired by technique of LSD (e.g Kary Mullis) "drugs bring about crime, economic smash, the destruction of families and death." definite, that's what the government tells you - yet the place's the info? "that is thoroughly egocentric for all and sundry to think of drugs could be legalized." Even somebody who does not use drugs? Legalising drugs might earnings society besides. think of if the streets have been wiped sparkling of drug gangs. "they're no longer something yet a gadget of cultural Marxism to slowly destroy American society." giggling out loud.

Yes, they should - but then they'd only go out and steal - which is just as bad as you'd end up paying for extra police, and jails.
It's about time we started really helping those who genuinely want to get out of trouble and deport those who don't give a toss. Isn't that why we annexed Australia in the first place?

It's a no win situation. The addicts have to be treated, in any case. If they're not receiving welfare, they'll just be on the streets robbing, stealing and worse for their fix. Something has to be done about that.
But, yea, I'm with you. We shouldn't have to pay for drug habits.

yes with a but
no with an if
if you take away their source, they might recover, or go crazy and start robbing.
and the Government stopping you from buying illegal drugs is not an infringement.
and alcoholics, i don't care either way.
