Loafing is a man's free choice; charity is yours. A parasite, on the other hand, is a person who demands -- and what is more, who believes -- that others must provide for him what he cannot provide, or chooses not to provide, for himself.
People of fewer scruples now had the power to "vote themselves money" that is, to exploit the naive sympathy or noble sentiments of an entire community. So the modern parasite engenders a mass political movement for parasitism, citing the material abundance around him as evidence of injustice (unfairness). And just as the traditional, "private" parasite requires a rationalization for his behavior, consisting of excuses for his inactivity and sophistries to support his claim on the efforts of others, so the new, mass-movement parasite.
To plunder is to take by force what belongs to another man, and to do so knowingly. To anticipate slightly, we might contrast the traditional tyrant with the parasitocrat by observing that the former declares to his subjects, in effect, "You built that, and now I'm taking it," while the latter says, literally, "You didn't build that."
Another parasite thread? And you have never depended upon anyone, ever? Give me a break.
There are certainly some who are annoyingly parasitc (hippy panhandlers), and exceedingly annoying. But to try to tar the anyone without far right leanings as being like this is exactly why the GOP is bleeding members faster than Dick Cheney's hunting partners.

A "hippy panhandler" is the best you can come up with in identifying the "annoyingly parasitic?" A request for the change in your pocket annoys you more than a demand by the government to redistribute your wealth through transfer payments?
There are a lot of lost folks in this world. Judging from your post, you might well rank as one of them.

The really sad part is you actually believe that nonesense, don't ya. Psssst, it was just an excuse made up by your handlers to explain away the losses in the last elections, you are not really supposed to believe it to be the truth
Valid points. But lets not pretend that Democrats don't have a vested interest in keeping a critical mass of poor, uneducated, and other "victims" on the plantation to ensure the vote in their column. When can we expect you to address this fact with as much veracity that you attack successful business owners and Republicans?
Bingo, the Dems need a massive underclass to get elected and stay elected.
You can weed out parasites, but you cannot allow socipaths to run the government. The Tepublican Taliban must go! The real parasites are the corporate puppet masters that have the representaives by the short hairs, funneling/trickling wealth up to them.
