The reason I bring this up is not to argue whether Project Prevention is correct or not. That is for you to decide. I bring it up because they are now offering their services in England, which gives us an idea of what it will soon be like here with the new health care law. See, since England has socialized health care, Project Prevention doesn't pay for the operation. They pay drug addicts cash money to utilize public funds for their operation.
That is what will be happening in the United States soon. I am willing to bet that most hardcore addicts in the US do not pay any taxes. Soon, we will not only be paying for these people's health insurance, but with the help of charities like Project Prevention, we will be subsidizing operations while the non-tax paying addict makes money.
Being a charity, Project Prevention also pays no taxes, the money the addicts make will not be taxed, and if you read my previous post you will know that the addict probably not only gets a paycheck from the government for welfare and foodstamps, but also makes money come tax time every year. We are essentially subsidizing the person's entire life, while charities are encouraging them with cash to spend even more of our money.
So, like I said....you can choose whether the ideals behind Project Prevention are good or bad, but their methods cannot be justified by anyone.
