“But such parasites are uncommon”

Wrong. There is a huge population that is gladly dependent and that will vote to stay so.

It's not only not uncommon, it's very often multi-generational. It's a shame a man has to lie or soft-pedal the truth to get elected, because the very people he's telling the truth about "might" not vote for him-as if they ever were. Why would they, when the 'rats have a proven track record of buying votes with welfare?

You are exactly right.

I have friends who have nice homes (one couple has a home/business in Montana, a rental in the Bakken field, a getaway place in Arizona and are now buying a hunting cabin in Minnesota), horses, dogs, cats, extra vehicles, I-phones and theater-class movie screens, and pay and have always paid ZERO in income taxes.

Yet they rely on every federal program that most of us find ourselves caught up in, and many we don’t, including the EPA, Forest Service, US Fish & Wildlife, Department of Ag, DOT, armed forces, etc. etc., etc.-—PRIDING THEMSELVES ON PAYING FOR NOTHING AND YET DERIDING AND LOATHING REPUBLICANS AS THE PARTY OF THE RICH.

As I see it they are mooching as much as any welfare queen and almost annoy me more because they consider themselves superior to the poor and holier than everyone else.
