I think i'll get a house I can't afford, miss payments, get a bailout, stop working get some welfare and unemployment checks, get some free food, free health care. Heck my county even has a free taxi service for welfare people. I can sell my car and get free rides too.

Why work and pay taxes when I can have it all. Thanks Obama!
You think people who have lost their jobs "have it all?" Wow! That's crazy.

You go ahead and sell your car. I'll keep mine. I'll keep my truck and Harley, too. I hate cabs. Free or not.

I'm not aware of an entire class of lazy, irresponsible people (well, except for trust fund babies, I guess, but they hardly make an entire class). Heck, I don't know anyone who is lazy and irresponsible (well, except for you, I guess. Maybe you can be the first in this new class of people?) Good luck. Have fun. See ya on the freeway ramp, but don't ask me for money. Get a job!

This reminds me of the time when Billy struck out in the middle of a ball game. He's ticked so what does he do? He packs up the bat and the gloves we were playing with saying they were his and heads home in huff. The rest of us sat around a bit figuring out what to do when we decided to go the nearest Sports Chalet and bought our own bat and gloves. We didn't need Billy after that. See ya, Billy, ya big baby . You're not the only one who knows how to play this game...

Yes, by all means - you do that.

Somehow I doubt you have either the courage or integrity to back up your words.

Actually, In one sense, I agree with the liberals. Going on welfare and "Crashing the system" only prove [liberals] right. Just do what millions of people around the globe do and leave and find greener pastures. Either that or fire your employees and find new ones. There's more you can do than what you're doing now.

In answer to the liberals: snicker while you can, becuase it's those dreded "rich" who sign the government checks. Once they're gone, the fun begins.

I love all the people calling for the OP to be tracked, or villifying him for his stated actions, even pointing out how he can't manage to do exactly thos things, as if you believe he would seriously throw away his business & life in this way. Do none of you get SARCASM or ALLEGORY? Look them up, then come back & reread his post. Perhaps then you'll see the point of his narrative.

You're right and it was obvious (at least) to me that the OP was meant as sarcasm and to illustrate a point which it did quite well.

Now this is the funniest post I have ever read.. I agree with it wholeheartedly, but the fact that the one posting it is a hardened Democrat really gets me.. Why say something like this, then turn around and support bailouts of the big 3 and the financial industry? As a matter of fact, if you back up what you say with action, why support any corporate bailout?

Good point!
Will there be a coherent answer?

The failure of three "corner store" franchises will not have effects that ripple throughout the economy. The failure of the entire financial sector would.
