America is absolutely chock -full of losers and deadbeats who'd rather not lift a finger to help themselves and instead rely on the American taxpayer to care for their every need, including food, housing, cell phones, medical care, etc.
Whenever these losers and otherwise useless people are mentioned by conservatives, the first to come to their defense is liberals with a myriad of excuses as to why we shoud all be caring, empathetic, and sympathetic citizens who willingly support the Social Safety Net Juggernaut™.
Hardly ever do we find a liberal who will forthrightly, and honestly, acknowledge that this country is full of deadbeat individuals who do not pay into the American system.
Why is this? Why is it that liberals won't for a moment acknowledge that YES there are millions upon millions of people in this country who are perpetual bad decision-makers and have no desire, will, or ability to change their worthless existence?
Who amongst you will stand up and defend America for once instead of defending the Lowest Common Denominator that's sucking your wallet dry without an ounce of remorse?
And for what it's worth: a number of people on Wall Street and in high places in Corporate America have been rewarded handsomely and monetarily for their "Poor decisions" (read: greed and smug arrogance) that wrecked this nation's economy and damaged the world economy.
Yet you won't hear people like the OP criticize them.
Is it? How so? Are you not paying attention or are you just being obtuse?
Are you not paying attention?

Incentives redirect billions of tax dollars to corporate bottom lines instead of to improving education, health, safety, infrastructure and making other public investments that will create genuine, long-term economic development.
Although the company is still stumbling—it lost $1.23 billion in the most recent fiscal year—Dunn got a handsome payout of $6.6 million, including severance of $2.85 million, stock grants worth $2.54 million, a “previously earned” $1.14 million bonus and $106,700 in unused vacation pay.
Exactly what I expected. Pure, unadulterated deflection by a forum liberal. Ask me if i'm surprised!
You're the one who's deflecting. You are obsessed with the "poor decisions" of poor people, but you don't bat an eye when rich people (who actually have power and influence) make far worse decisions. What's with the double standard?

You don't think poor people had anything to do with the collapse of the financial system, including those who financed their whole lives on credit, bought houses they couldn't afford, etc?
LOL
No, they weren't rich. They lived beyond their means by trying to immitate those who actually are rich.
The financial levers on Wall Street have been punished and are still being punished with crushing government oversight and regulation.
How are the poor people being punished? Not only are they NOT being punished, the government is assisting them in anyway possible to absolve them of their financial obligations.
They bought the products they were being offered by the banks when clearly they couldnt' afford those products, but yet you have nothing bad to say about them. Why is that?
