Maybe your just having a bad day....
Actually the reference was to a Tea Party governor (Rick Scott is supported by the Tea Party). Thought you sounded like a Tea Party person. I knew exactly to whom I was responding.

Yes, that is true- so where is our return to normalcy on that tax cut for the wealthy that was supposed to expire a couple years ago that you mentioned? That is costing us a ton of money, all of us are paying for it, and allowing that to expire would do more for the budget than allowing this will... so when will Republicans finally let this cut expire? Even Bush and his admin when they put it in place admitted it is very costly and NEEDS to expire at the intended time to avoid causing stress on the budget.

I work harder than you ever will, for not a whole lot of money. which is why I am stingy with it when it comes to the handouts you favor with my cash. poor people wouldn't, and couldn't do my job. they'd rather just take part of my paycheck.
Of course I do volunteer work. However, in my "day job" I come into contact with people from all types of backgrounds, including the poor and working poor.

You have no idea how hard I work. I work hard. However, I do make fairly good money for what I do. I work in the legal field. Btw, you have no options about whether or not to pay taxes, and it is the tax money from ALL OF US which helps the needy. Nobody is asking you to go out on the streets and hand out your hard-earned cash.

The FSA is always bitching about their miserable lives and parading around their offspring for pity points. For Chrissakes, somebody teach these "poor" people how to boil rice and make a big pot of chili or soup. I survived for years as a bachelor on waaaaaaay less. It's called cooking, people. Try it.

Maybe we should go back to soup lines. That way people wouldn't believe the BS that we are "recovering" from the recession. Not with 47 million on food stamps.

Anyway, the soup kitchens wouldn't be serving convenience/junk food/steaks, that's for sure, and the money would go a lot farther. Kids would get fed for a change because "baby momma" couldn't buy overpriced crap or trade her card out for cigarettes and booze.

6 weeks welfare for "maternity leave" then the option of getting off welfare handouts or the surgery and stay on them.
How about AbortionMobiles? Coming soon to your town. Step right up, ladies!!

The righties get apoplectic about it, but so what. I'd rather spend my tax dollars that way than on handouts for "baby mommas" who haven't got any other skill set.

Speaking of soup kitchens, an outbreak of antibiotic resistant TB started in a soup kitchen in Jacksonville, FL. in the somewhat recent past. Good idea. Let's have a lot of poor people with poor health going to a central location for all their food. Yeah, bring those babies with measles, chickenpox, etc.

Nice try, catfood lady. And a meteorite might hit you in the ***** right after you win the lotto.

Lord knows, the FSA is doing a bang-up job with their food "credit cards".
