Nope!

I'm sick and tired of anyone thinking I should care about slack, low rent, illegals, welfare taking or gubment assistance abusing folks. When do the law abiding, American way system following folks get a break? All we get is you gotta pay for this group of people, you can't think bad about this group, just grin and bear it we are the richest people in the world, you got more to give. It's getting old....sad part is that people in this country are buying into it if their political party backs the idea.

It's a game and who actually wins???

There is a family of THREE who lives in the area near my place in Alabama. The father is as healthy as a horse but he thinks the world owes him a living because he was in the Army, in peacetime; he saw no combat duty, and was discharged with a BCD. He came home with the attitude the world owed him a living because he "served his country." All he did was go to a regular job for 4 years. His wife lay around all day, stuffing her face and watching TV; he joined her and ballooned up to about 350 lbs, she made it to about 400 lbs., their daughter, now 28 is an able-bodied recovering (?) drug addict. EACH person in that house has been declared disabled and each person is drawing $1,700 per month in Social Security disability benefits. Their total household income is $5,100 PER MONTH. She had part of her stomach removed and now weighs 229 pounds and makes no attempt to find a job and get off Social Security. They have parties about every 3-4 weeks, grill steaks, the booze flows freely and have recently purchased a new Chevy car.

I thought all you hard working people would like to know where your tax dollars are being spent. I do a slow burn when I see those people and think about my husband going to his job every day, some days he doesn't feel like getting out of bed because he has heart disease. When he comes home from work, he looks like he will collapse from exhaustion. He couldn't work if he had to do physical labor but he has an office job. The idea of applying for disability income has never crossed his mind.

I don't feel sorry for any of the lowlife, able-bodied people who make a conscious choice to live off the system rather than get off their behinds and go to work. They are not my responsibility.
