This is a flawed tactic to deal with things like cutting off welfare, or any other entitlement from recreational, or other drug users.
We are counting on their massive EGO's to do the heavy lifting. Visiting hate, or deprivation on others, to protest visiting it on those that would be harmed, legitimizes the tactic. It must be slammed. Ridiculed. Those that suggest it, must be eliminated. Then, and only then, will the "kill the poor" tactic be ended.
This also legitimizes things like the rethugs calling for legislators being limited to our healthcare.

There are plenty of ways they could "sacrifice" like they always say we should. And they should have to piss in a cup before every vote.
Assholes.

The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread.
