Yeah, that damned Italian pizza sucks.

I went out tonight for a dinner buffet, didn't tip (I either tip 18% or don't tip at all depending on my mood). Didn't blame Obama for it though .

I changed your statement where you say "people" pay their fair share. It's the taxpayers that are being asked to pay "their fair share". People are taxpayers and welfare recipients. Full blown welfare recipients do not pay, they take.

Really? Enrolled on welfare at birth. 16 years forward - have a baby - continue on welfare, turn 18, eligible for fulll blown welfare, continue to have babies. Wash, rinse, repeat.

If you collect any form of government benefit - its welfare. When you collect from the government disability when you never worked, it's welfare. If you have never worked and you collect food stamps, get subsidized housing, your utilities are subsidized, your medical is subsidized, you are on welfare. There are those who are life long welfare recipients.

What is your definition of taxpayers paying their "fair share"? Only working people get to pay their fair share? I wouldn't mind paying my "fair share" if welfare wasn't so easy to obtain and considered a "career". I wouldn't mind paying my "fair share" if able bodied welfare recipients, and there are many!!! - were made to earn their welfare - have them clean parks, clean streets, clean highways, let them work as janitors in government buildings. There are many things able bodied welfare recipients can do to maintain government property.

What a loser. If you can't "afford" a proper tip go to McDonalds.


I am on my phone, please forgive the typos.
He's a douche

Go to grocery stores

Go to movies

We are not seen in public and associate among ourselves, generally at our country club, Good restaurants, or at private booths for plays and sporting events.


You will never see me and my friends, as we are private and do not want to be seen.

I find it amusing that you think someone who makes over $1 million per year is "special". That is hilarious; I am a relative pauper in my peer group. You must be very jealous and envious; you are a fool- find faith and peace instead.
Very wealthy people don't live on the internet the way you do. If they do, they are dumb asses. 11,000 posts in 3 years??

What's the point of having millions if you are going to spend all your time on the net?? A poor guy can do that. Hell, you could be in jail and you wouldn't notice the difference.

I have wealth,income, and thus SOME local and state political power and personal economic security and comfort. I know our Governor and republican senator personally. I am set in life.

Do I care about you? No- you are a lower income democrat and are irrelevant. Sorry, but the truth hurts. I would not even let you carry my bag at Glen Oaks.


P.S.- Arizona, outside of Scotsdale North, Troon, and Dove Mountain in Tuscon is a dump. It is a desert version of Detroit.
Then why do you keep answering back my replies then if I don't matter? If I were rich, and I was being clowned by a peon such as myself, I wouldn't answer...secure in the knowledge that I'm a fatcat and the other guy isn't.

But you keep trying too hard. Thinking that by dropping the name of a few local spots, and towns, you'll come off as more convincing. But in fact, the opposite is true...I believe you less the MORE you post.

Millionaire? I don't think so.

What's the point of being a millionaire if you spend all your time on the internets??

A broke ass chump could spend all his hours on the internets, you don't need to be rich to do that.

There is a 5 year cap on welfare, any person who is able to game that system is the exception to the rule, NOT the rule.

arguing about a so called "lifer" is like bringing up an argument about Li-Liger attacking someone. its an anomaly where as you are trying to make it seems like a majority or even a sizable minority are doing it and that just isnt true.

In what world is it easy to live on welfare ???????????????????????????????????????????

Not really sure why you asked that question considering the fact that my comment says people, so obviously i think wel fare recipients can pay their fair share with community service.


I have no clue how Public housing works around the country( i am not that informed), but in my town, anyone living in subsidized housing has mandatory community service, and the possible activities are listed and yes, all the things you named are on it(except janitors) .

I also should add that being on welfare(even full time) doesnt mean you dont work. There are areas with crappy jobs where you just dont make any money. funny how cons want everyone off of welfare but are unwilling to talk about paying a living wage.
