Some years ago, I read an article here on FR concerning some people who had been ripped off by con artists. The "victims" had been told they were entitled to millions of dollars in "slavery reparations", and so they filled out their tax forms to reflect this information. Not only did they NOT get a cent of tax payer dollars-and they DIDN'T become Instant Millionaires as they were told they would be-but the IRS actually penalized them for submitting a fraudulent claim. Apparently, quite a few people nationwide fell for this fraud.

As I went to the link to the full article and saw an image of the somber older couple who were so sure they were entitled to take money out of my and my friend's, family's , and coworker's pockets, I thought, "I will never see anything on FR that will make me feel so happy again".

This article comes close.

Vindictive? Spiteful? Whatever! The people who voted for that worthless POS BHO did so out of greed (they think they are getting freebies) or blatant stupidity ("always vote for the Democrat because they're for the little guy", white guilt, they thought it was 'kewl' to vote for him-bandwagon voters, etc). I dare say most of the buyers of BHO memorabilia are those who voted for that creature. I believe BHO will either destroy the USA, or at least damage it irreparably. So am D****d if I won't rejoice at every hardship, major or minor, that befalls his supporters.

“Not only did they NOT get a cent of tax payer dollars”

That is not accurate:

It kills me a million ways inside to know that people who think stuff like this is a big deal - and who are stupid enough to buy into the cult of personality - are allowed a vote that counts equally to mine.
