11. To be fair, I'm paying for the same subsidies that I'm getting...

My money is basically going to the government in the form of taxes, then coming back to me in the form of the subsidies you mentioned.

But if you don't work and pay taxes, you're not paying for your subsidies, but you're still getting them. So yes, there probably are some people not working that are buying big screen TV's and chips, and getting subsidies.

I don't agree with the Neocon's argument, but I think you're misconstruing it.
