Yes. I have disdain for those who sit on their azz waiting for a check from my tax dollars.

Give us some specific examples of people in the "recipient class" doing this that you have personally witnessed.

BTW, does "the recipient class" include everyone receiving a check that is paid for by the taxpayers?

Just remember, just about anything you eat, comes via the hands of a poorer person, be it a farmer, a farm worker or one of your servants.

I call BS on this.

If not for someone who can run a farm, there would be no job picking it.

You lefties seem to think that poor people get together with a business plan and hire a person to run it for them.

The recipient class that I refer to are those who have never contributed, but have taken out plenty.

Even if you "only" get $5,000 a year in benefits, but have never paid into the system, YOU are a recipient.....dependent upon others.

And don't give me that crap about sales tax.

I was raised in Philly....I've seen it many, many times.

What percentage of the population do you believe has never contributed anything? This will give us significant insight into how your mind works.

About the only people in society I'm aware of who have never paid a dime to the maintenance of government are folks with severe disabilities.

If it were to be demonstrated that most SS recipients receive more than they paid in, would they constitute being leeches? What about government employees like soldiers, who might consume more in compensation than they ever pay in with their taxes? Leeches as well?

perhaps when there are enough worthwhile jobs for them to do?

(note: this does not include non-jobs such as the leaf pickers)

It is far easier for a rich man to hire a poor person, than for a poor person to hire a rich person.

The poor should honor the productive members of society who foot the bill for them to eat.

could just as easily spin that one the other way around.

Total fail Alphamale, as usual

This is, after all, the land of opportunity, right?

The rich are scum,they use poor people as stepping blocks to get to their riches and treat us like 2nd class citizens. I hate rich people as much as I hate cops.With a passion.

The rich will give money to other rich, quite happily in fact.

But come the day they have to pay a poor person, it's always the bare minimum or done with vile disdain and reluctance.

I'm poor and I hate the rich.
Do the rich hate me because I'm poor, or because I hate them?
