they are about to find out now....
we were without power from hurricane Sandy for five days in my house....we lost a lot of food and went through a lot of other expense because of the storm...
in the past i would not consider looking to FEMA or another gov’t agency for federal help for my expenses...right now i am in an F-U type of mood and am sick of being forever the maker and never the taker....as a result i am seriously considering putting in a claim for a few hundred $$$ to recoup some of my loses (granted- i don’t know how the system works or even if i’m eligible- i just hear the ads on the radio all the time about “getting federal relief for Sandy”)....
want opinions from my fellow Freepers- i am wrong in my way of thinking???
You paid INTO the system. Use it. It’s the OTHER half of the country (takers) that I have a problem with.
When my mom needed to buy an extra walker on her fixed income, she was reluctant about claiming it on Medicare. I said...”Hell, Mom! You paid INTO the system! Use it! You didn’t mooch off the system your entire life.”
I feel the same way. Take while you can still get it.
Yes, it shouldn’t be this way but they’ve taken enough of your money as it is.
File the claim.
Keep in mind, there are people filing claims whose families have not paid in for GENERATIONS! Seriously.
The more you can load down the corrupt system, the sooner it will fail and bring circumstances to a critical juncture. Of course, that is what the Alinsky Socialists and Cloward and Piven strategy is after, crashing the system. It may be that the weak minded Socialists will not be able to control the consequences of their radical subversion.
No, do it. Cloward and Piven.
