Ethical Question - eating subsidized meals?
from <a href="http://money.cnn.com/2005/10/21/pf/do_right_elderly_0511/index.htm">money.com</a>
I live in a nice, but not fancy, retirement community. Every week one of our clubhouses provides a special lunch for low-income people that is subsidized by the government and costs only $1.50.
Many of my friends here routinely take advantage of this lunch, even though they are all financially secure. They say they're entitled to the meal because "income" means money earned from a job and they're too old to work, and because this country owes a lot to seniors for all that our generation has done. Can they be right?
