As my wife and I struggle to pay the monthly mortgage and our daughter's college, I'm left wondering why others don't have to be responsible for their own lives.
I was at the supermarket this past weekend, and was in line behind two full shopping carts full of racks of ribs, tenderloins, pork chops, soda, a ton of junk food, ribeyes, and a tons of other stuff totaling out to over $800. As she paid with her EBT card, I couldn’t help but wonder what it feels like to be able to buy as much top dollar food as you want with redistributed money of others, or if that would even cross the mind.
Does our current system give people any reason to stop taking advantage, stop having kids they can’t pay for, to be thankful for what they are given, or encourage them to get off the system to support their own existence? I’m talking about the leaches, not the vets, retirees, or handicapped, so keep that in mind.
Save the BS, I don’t feel like arguing about how heartless I am or people who are critical of our failed systems are. I don’t need to hear sad stories, I’ve experienced my own. I just want to know what you think about our welfare system, and its contribution to our entitlement society and the debt.
Is there any hope for our society or have we finally lost the country to the "give me free stuff crowd"..
I don't believe you at all. I think you made this stuff up. I say this by your join date(right after the election. many think you are a paid schill). I don't see welfare people with these huge shopping carts full like you say.
Silly. We'd all be better off if there were no humane programs AND we all had Uzis to defend ourselves when hungry people attack us.
/sarcasm, just in case anyone missed it.
(Most of the responses to this thread are brilliantly using Tea Party "logic" and "solutions" to help the OP, the original TPer. That's why it's priceless, and I'm just playing along
Yeah...they look like they're starving...those evil tea par tiers....
"I, Mr. XXX, formerly JT800, am at my wits end. Ever since Romney abruptly cut off our credit cards after losing the election, times have been tough. But I will continue to make inane threads for free because my real job sucks so, so badly."
Well...when they're wearing an Obama jacket...I guess you can assume with 99.99% accuracy they're an Obama supporter..
I have never seen an Obama jacket.

The paid shill accusation gets a bit tiresome.
Who would pay someone like Mr. XXX anything to post idiotic threads on forums all day? If you've got money to burn and a political message to spew, there are much better ways to get your message out than paying someone to post inane crap on a forum. Much more likely is that he's just an angry person with nothing better to do.
Now, that said, of course he's making it up. It's like he thinks the rest of us have never gone to the grocery store.
God...how many time do I have say I'm not JT800...Gee give me a break...
I mean, you have to admit it is a huge coincidence. He starts posting tons of stupid threads a day for months. It abruptly ends election night.
Your account is started in November right after that. (Give a few days for butthurtness, I suppose). Then you start posting tons of stupid threads a day. For months.
I mean it is one hell of a coincidence.
But JT did have laser like focus in his propaganda. Yours is more scatter-shot and anecdotal. Touche?
