...nearly a century of paying a segment of the society to depend on the government has bred this type of despiration.
I would add 'and breed' to that:
...nearly a century of paying a segment of the society to depend on the government and breed has bred this type of desperation.

Pigeon hole the masses so there is no motivation to rise above their circumstance and this is the result. Was it worth the votes Democrats? Apparently so.
Now they're shocked, shocked I tell you that exponentially increasing numbers of people have little to no means of support other than the local, state, and federal governments.
This is just the beginning. It will get MUCH worse.

You're right about one thing. If this elitist feeling of entitlement continues things will get a lot worse...especially for those who don't know how to press their shirt or mow their lawns and continue to expect incomes 500 times that of a man working on the assembly line.
When I hear rich Republicans complain about labor unions I roll on the floor and laugh my arse off! They have enough in the bank so that they will never worry about food, housing, medical care, annual vacations, pensions, security etc. and the very thought of others getting a tenth of that tears them up.

Oh yeah... those union members have it so bad.
Let's take a look, shall we? Let's see how Social Security stacks up to a public sector pension... Here's an article analyzing the retirement differences between a public sector employee and a private citizen. Take careful note of the total amounts contributed by each to their pension fund vs. Social Security and then note the payouts (ISP = Illinois State Police employee; SS = Social Security):
Every welfare queen in town will be in line. They accept a low pay job on purpose to qualify and then allow their "boyfriend" who earns much more to move in.

You are blinded by partisanship if think the "rich" are Republicans. Soros, Gates, Buffet, Rockefeller, Winfrey...all Progressive minded Democrats.
What does the average union executive make in comparison to the average union worker? What does IBT's Jimmy Hoffa Jr. make in salary and benefits compared to the average firefighter or assembly line worker? Yep, I'd say that outrage is partisan and selective indeed.

Being selfish has nothing to do with it. I very well doubt, they could get FULL RENT, especially in this economy. The only reason they are doing it - is to have a GUARANTEED rent income from the government.
You don't eat the cost to maintain a rental property - you write it off, as a deduction on your taxes, thus reducing your stated income. Having the government subsidize your income is just that.
I would actually call the landlords unselfish and private enterprise - if they did it on their own The landlord is no different than the tenant. They are both getting something for free from tax payer dollars. Just calling it what it is
Your * cost * is the massive repair costs you will have after they destroy your property.
Of course FULL paying renters can destroy your property as well but if the FPR pays you a deposit and the Section 8 tenant pays you none then guess who is more likely to keep your place nice ?
