Why should I support someone else?

Let me start by saying that I"m new here so this may have already been discussed, but this has come up in my office several times and I wanted to get some other views of this.
I do payroll for a rather small company so I know most of the workers and their wives (most of the workers are men due to the nature of our business). There are two in particular who's wives SAH. These two are up to their eyeballs in debt. I have bill collectors constantly calling for them. That part is really their business, it is annoying but I enjoy being rude back to the bill collectors, lol.
The part that bothers me is that both wives have been in the office wanting copies of X amount of check stubs so that they can go and get public assistance (I know because they told me that is what it is for)! Why should my tax money go so that these women can SAH? I know that not all families that one parent stays at home are like this, but I know lots that are. Heck, growing up we were always broke because my mother refused to work, but we weren't on any public assistance.
So, why should I pay for a woman to SAH? Why can't she go and get a job to support her family just like anyone else?

The point that was trying to be made was that obgyn's subscribe meds for all types of mental illness and the fact that it had been going on for years.

I have not excused or justified it, I simply stated it is not a huge deal.
So then you did not understand after all. If they are selling counterfeit goods, they are no longer legitimate. I do not care how they appear or how much money they make.
In the city where I live, there is a very famous and powerful lawyer, with a big firm. However, he does things that make him not legitimate in the eyes of most decent people. He has not been caught yet, but that does not mean he is legit.
My examples are very apt.
