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?

It's also about stains. Delay washing and stains won't always come out. Wash immediately and stains are more likely to come out.
I disagree nothing infectious can survive washings. (Not everyone washes on the hottest setting anyway - it's not energy efficient.) Just take a look at the DNA left in clothes for years which has exonerated many who were incarcerated. Even Jon Bonet Ramsey had DNA left in her underpants that still has not been associated with an individual.
And blood and other bodily fluids may or may not be infectious depending on their composition, but the stains sure survive delayed washings and washings on warm/cold. Not my cup of tea, but you can have at it if you like!
Please tell me thrift shops don't sell used underwear?
Why does your husband get to have costly clothes of his choosing while the children have to wear second-hand?
OMG! OMG! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!

Have you ever shopped at the outlets? You can get great deals for little money.
