I have yet to see some one champion how great it is actually quit their job and go on welfare.

One would think if welfare recipients have it so much better that would be the best option for their family.
Free food, free housing and in some cases money. I'm not saying it is the greatest life, but it must be somewhat decent because many stay on it their whole life in some form or another, they seem to be happy with very little and the fact it is free helps, most are just too lazy to work.

The intonation of the caller is spot on with a legit welfare rat.

(In before neo-prog racists claim I'm racist for that remark)

No. I was a regular pot smoker for 17 years.

No problem. I didn't expect you'd address the part about the "Obamaphone". That would show your hand.

I still maintain that the "call" was scripted.

She's right.

We should all reduce our production and consumption to minimize the taxes we pay until the whole corrupt thing collapses.

Why not?

Does it make you feel better when the welfare is in Wisconsin or Ohio?
