Funny how so many on here think that livin on the government teat is such a good ride. Be careful, being poor might be as much fun as you think.

Thanks for sharing you experiences of living off the government. I guess I might see what you mean after I retire. After paying in for a life time, I figure they owe me.

True, being poor and living off the government freebie wagon is not much fun...not fun that is, for those who posses even a shred of self-respect and personal responsibility. Most of us would view it as a temporary emergency helping hand until we were able to get back on our feet and get back to supporting ourselves and our loved ones.

Unfortunately, there are literally millions of people nowadays who view government largess as a birthright, a guaranteed life support system for themselves and any number of stray offspring they irresponsibly bring into the world.

Compared to working for a living and acting responsibly to your loved ones and society in general yeah buddy...it's indeed a very, very good ride.

I've always suspected that the most fervent anti-welfare state individuals harbored some secret wish that they could actually give in and go live on welfare. Kind of like the most anti-gay priests always seem to end up caught on film with male prostitutes.

If you think sitting around doing nothing productive sounds like a "very good ride" maybe there is something wrong with you as well?

And you think sitting around on your a$$ every day of a useless life when you are perfectly capable of working, but instead being supported by taxpayers isn't a 'very good ride'?

I've always suspected that the most fervent pro-welfare supposedly working types are basically parasites at heart. They may draw a pay check from somewhere buy I doubt if their 'job' involves much skill or effort.

While the wealth gap grows, the conservative blame the poor.

Really? You honestly think that doing absolutely nothing productive with your life, having no control over what a nameless group of people will give you, and having absolutely nothing to do or show for yourself at the end of the day is "a very good ride"?

It honestly sounds horrible to me, and if the only thing keeping you from doing that is some external factor, perhaps you need to re-examine what actually motivates you.

As for your suspicion regarding "pro-welfare" working types... I'm not sure if you're trying to reference me, since I'm actually not pro-welfare and don't like the poor or homeless. Either way, I'm going to hazard a guess and say that you couldn't get through the amount of education I've gone through in my life, the effort I've put in and the skills and knowledge I've gained through the time to make me valuable to my employers. I never really minded though, because I enjoyed the sense of accomplishment I got from every step. Perhaps that's what your life has been lacking?

How do you know they're ok with it?
Seriously... you can look at it one of two ways:
1 - I know I would find the situation horrible and would not want to stay in it. I assume that therefore if someone is in it, they are unable to get out.
2 - The converse of this (an individual who assumes that welfare is a party, or that the individuals are ok with it) must mean that the person who thinks this way doesn't find the idea of being on welfare themselves that horrible.

Again... (because I have to repeat it for the idiots in this crowd) I am not saying I support welfare, just that I'm assuming the people who are in it, would rather not be. Let them starve or freeze to death, I don't care. But I doubt they are enjoying the situation they are in.

Actually I agree with you on that particular point. Living a life lacking in accomplishment and letting others support you and your family from cradle to grave is no life at all as far as I'm concerned. But the numbers show that an awful lot of people think otherwise. Millions in fact. And we have a political entitlement industry in this nation geared toward fulfilling that 'birthright'. To deny this obvious fact is to deny reality.

I have no problem assuming that some simple tasks are outside the capability of average people. To assume that they aren't doing it just because they're lazy is no more questionable an assumption.

Keep in mind, I'm not saying we should support them because I think they can't support themselves. You do realize the difference right? If someone is incapable of actually earning money and incapable of making the decision to spend that money on food rather than alcohol, I'm not advocating that you buy them food. I'm just pointing out that they are incapable.

You guys are not being very supportive here. Remember that it must be scary for DP to leave the Fox News based alternate reality of conservatism. As his fellow BOTL'S you should help him as he transitions to a new life style. DP is soon to be overwhelmed with new choices.

So, DP, now that you approve of same sex marriage, should both men wear black?

Brewha wrote:




Yes, so many choices.

WIC, ADC, Local food bank, County food programs, State food programs, federal housing assistence, state housing assistence, church charities, soaking neighbors, soaking friends, moving back in with your parents.

Yes, the options for most people living under the progressive liberal agenda these days is dizzying...
