how does that make her a hypocrite? just because you might say that you don't believe it is right that the government forces you at the point of a gun to pay taxes to then give that money to someone else for free, doesn't make you a hypocrite if you take free money... if the government steals from me and I think it is wrong, I could still take whatever they are giving out for free and it doesn't change my belief that their original stealing is wrong. you still live within the society that is around you and by that society's rules even if you don't agree with all of the rules
