Some people think I, and people like me, am lazy.

No, we think you suffer from a poor education at the hands of the libs you idolize.

Excuse me while I dry my eyes...

OK, there. This moron is an embarrassment to the human race, bad choices, more bad choices, buffoonery, denial, skankery, etc. whatever anyone could do wrong, she is on it like wet on water.

The fact that she does not feel shame for the way she has wasted her life is indicative of her utter lack of a moral compass. Since she does not feel shame for the way she has frittered away her precious life, it’s small wonder that she does not feel shame in living off the chickens in her neighbor’s yard.

And I'll continue to do so whenever I need to, until an actual living wage is legislated and applied across the board.

Or, until I'm replaced by an order-entry system or a robot, which be online about six months after my living wage mandate gets legislated, but I'm too stupid to know that.

That’s why I collect assistance without shame. And I’ll continue to do so whenever I need to, until an actual living wage is legislated and applied across the board.


go to a trade college. 1 to 2 years of school. Pharm tech’s get hired over $40,000. There’s your living wage.

I’ve read a few things from that VOX source and they are mega leftist kooks. This article is typical of that bunch.

This is the house that Obama built. It is the progressive vision. When all cannot find full time work, all will be beholden to government.

tl;dr

Does she mention what her college degree was?
I’m guessing it was a useless liberal arts
degree that qualified her to do nothing.

Her poor choices put her directly into the social welfare safety net. It is easy to end up like her. Read the article and see her life choice disasters piling up.

People like her are the reason liberals support abortions.

Where is the father of the children? And how many fathers are there?

That tells the real story.

As a father, my children will not be in that situation, no matter how many extra hours I need to work.

The stupidest thing about this article is that she can’t make money in the fast food industry after several years. That’s nonsense. Anyone that works hard at a fast food joint and stays at the job location/company makes way more than min. wage.

A store manager at KFC in Florida makes over 60,000. The regional manager (4 stores) makes over a 100,000. Typically you can exceed 40,000 in less than 5 years with no college and hard work in the fast food industry. No food stamps needed.

Very true.
Remember back in the 60s when Blacks were complaining no (or very few) CDRs, Captains or Flag Officers.

Tried to explain that one normally doesn’t rise that high in rank if one only spends 4 or 8 years in the Navy.

Most(well, far too many) didn’t ‘get it’.

Very true... Either she is not dependable, not very reliable, not on time. etc., or something else that makes her not a good employee. Otherwise, she would have moved up into management after a few years of hard work (or at least much higher wages).

So, don’t blame others or your situation, blame yourself!

Then work to improve...

She has been in the workforce for 16 years and named close to 10 different job changes. I don’t think she has every been employed in one job for longer than a year. Yet, she need a top salary to start?

She has a valid point.

The champagne & lobster donor crowd has no problem getting Republicans and Democrats to sign a discharge petition to reopen the Export-Import Bank.

Taxpayer-funded welfare for wealthy corporation isn’t considered a luxury.

But people literally living from month to month, they’re the ones disparaged and accused of ripping off taxpayers.

If welfare were ended tomorrow, it wouldn’t make a dent in our deficit.

I understand we live in a world where money can buy influence and favors in high places.

It doesn’t mean I consider it just and for some people, redistribution is fine as long as it goes to them.

I mean people who won’t exactly starve if the Ex-Im Bank isn’t reopened.

Those of us who looked down on are told that’s needed more than welfare.

That says a lot more about the character of our society than it says about whether people abuse the system - but let’s at least make sure the same standard applies to rich and poor alike.

I remember eating oatmeal for several days in a row and gravy bread. We didn’t know there was no money to buy food. We loved the gravy bread and I still eat it today.

What the heck degree did she get in collge that she cant evr get a job that pays more than $11 an hour?

Why did she have multiple kids given she knew she was poor? How is that considered good and sound decision making based on your current and future limits and expectations?
