Are you scared that others will also get money, just like you? Any noble status to lose or something??

What is this comment? I seriously don't get it. Government money is money by the people for the people.

No, right now government money is debt that has to be repaid plus interest by us or our children.

I don't want to get money for the same reason I don't want to go and run up personal debt.

Government debt does not work like personal debt. At all.
