29-Year-Old Welfare Parasite Would Not Accept An $80,000 A Year Job Driving A Truck

What should be done with a 29-year-old welfare parasite that believes that in addition to practicing with his rock band, his main job in life is to "make sure the sun's up and the girls are out"? Most people that receive government assistance truly need the help and do not abuse the system, but there are definitely others that do abuse the system and do not make any excuses for doing so. When 29-year-old Jason Greenslate was recently asked if he would be willing to take a job driving a truck in North Dakota for $80,000 a year, he said that he would not. He would rather keep purchasing sushi and lobster with his EBT card and hanging out with his rock band. Greenslate seems very happy with his taxpayer-funded lifestyle, and he says that he wants "to thank the United States of America, and the situation — the way things are set up". Is this really what we pay taxes for? The rest of us are taxed into oblivion so that we can fund the endless partying of parasites like Jason Greenslate? What in the world is happening to this country?

I would expect this thug is an Obama man, but voting, even for Obama, would be physically and mentally too taxing.

How does a young, presumably non-parent person like this get supported on the dole like that? Does he need to have bagged himself a disability diagnosis—or is the CA system that far gone?

CUT

HIM

OFF.

Yes and sterilize these people too because you know they will produce more children just to work on people’s sympathy as to why they should receive money rather then earn money.

How does a 29 year old get on welfare? How the heck does he qualify? Nothing in the article says, unless I missed it.

An old form of punishment used in China might be appropriate. Nobody is allowed to feed the transgressor, or they will be punished too.

I'm pretty sure he'd be eager to work for a living after a few days.

If not....too bad. Starve.

He has a “disability,” doncha know. “Can’t focus” or something equally vague.

***the social service people who are supposed to catch the cheaters are a complete joke.***

The social service people are in on the scam. Once upon a time, my older brother worked as one of them. When he would turn people in for fraud, he would get in trouble. They basically told him he was doing too good of a job, that he made other workers look bad. It was confusing, because instead of praising him for helping get rid of the fraud, he was punished. They finally forced him out, saying that he was harassing his female coworkers. It was them against him, and they won. This was in the late 70s, maybe early 80s.

Moral of the story, the only agency workers who survived were the ones without consciences. The others got out by one method or another. The system has been broken for a long time, and it was designed to be that way.

I’m almost to the point where my stand is that anyone who can neither produce nor do anything that is of monetary worth to anyone else deserves to starve in the woods somewhere unless their own kin or church wants to support them.

I'm not at that point with regard to the truly severely disabled. But for the able-bodied (specifically including women who have babies to qualify for aid) my attitude is "work or die", to the point where if a woman has a baby she is unable to support by her own efforts, I would put the kid up for adoption, sterilize her, and tell her to go to work.

The more “cases,” the bigger their budget. It’s as simple as that.

Very true. Which is why we don’t need the government as much as they need us. They screw us every time.

He doesn’t need to — he’s got the government to take care of him. That’s part of the institutional problem.

Ok, then. Your message in reply to the Greenslate's story, made me think you meant that guy had been one of those "trading value with other people" in an alternative way.

...
In the Carboniferous Epoch, we were promised abundance for all,
By robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul,
But though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said “If you don’t work, you die”.

That little parasite needs to run up on some fellas coming off of a 10 and 5 or a 7 and 7 hitch in a *Redneck* bar after learning they're supporting him..............Just saying.

Don’t worry, it’s going to crash.

Promises that were made on an industrial scale over generations, worldwide, will be broken on an industrial scale in a much shorter period of time, worldwide.

See Post 56.

Btw. 80K? More than I make, and I’m an attorney.

Then you're obviously either spending too much time on FR or working part time........

Don't take offense to my comment Darren, I abhore attorneys regardless what side of the fence they are on............

The legal profession is the most profitable, artifically created industry in America whose sole purpose is to either take from those who have or represent those who are fighting to keep what they have.......

Either way, the attorney always ends up the financial winner.....Nice Gig!
