“I am supposed to be jealous of this and give up my family income of 115K a year to get this free stuff and not work? No thanks. I am not jealous of these people at all.”

No, and you never will, because your genetic makeup and your upbringing cause you to want to be productive. Not at all the same as the Gibbsmedats, who are here among us to act like human leeches and have no morals to redirect their efforts at being anything but wards of the state.

working unless you make very good money is proving to not be worth it....you make the effort to get up, dressed, drive to work, work hard all day, drive home, crash...for that you get high taxes on your income, your property, sales tax and tax on your fuel and registrations for your car and any and all vehicles,boats,trailors, motorcycles that you happen to afford....and then you get forced into insurance programs....

now suppose you don't work...you're 50...you limp along on unemployment and food stamps and you get a cut rat on your property tax...your kids will get a good shot at a full college ride from the govt....you get free phones, in some areas free internet....you'll get the free cheese at the food bank and free camps for your kids.....you're taxes are nonexistant and you actually get money BACK from the govt that you never paid them anyway....

who's the damn fools?

..... Would that be the same 34.3 percent of the people in this country that are on the welfare dole?

It would be an interesting thing to know.

Perhaps more mothers are deciding to stay at home to raise their children.

My SIL did just that and as her children grew up she is putting more of her energy into what used to be called "charity work". If you asked her if she wanted a paying job she would look at you in disbelief and ask when she was suppose to fit one in to her schedule. And of course a large number of the under 23 crowd believe that school is their job.

I don't doubt there are people out there that are just bone lazy or that there are people who are so depressed from having work doors slammed in their face that they don't want to go through that again.

But you would have to break them out from the people who have a non-paying job before you can draw accurate conclusions.

I don’t want a job I want a business. I’m afraid that starting one in the current political-business environment would border on insanity.

Malcom X actually said, “Anytime you throw your political weight behind a political Party that controls two-thirds of the government and that Party can’t keep the promises it made to you during election time, and you are dumb enough to walk around and identify yourself with that Party, you are not only a chump but you are a traitor to your race.”

The Bolsheviks ripped off 2 Thessalonians 3:10 for the USSR’s 1936 Constitution, also called the “Stalin Constitution”:
In the U.S.S.R., work is a duty and a matter of honor for every able-bodied citizen, in accordance with the principle: “He who does not work, neither shall he eat.”

The principle applied in the U.S.S.R. is that of socialism: “From each according to his ability, to each according to his work.”

I am lucky. I enjoy my job, have fun at my job, and it pays enough that my wife gets to stay at home raising the kids. Now that they are all in school I wish she would spend more time for herself, but she sucks at that.

Great post. Whoever said “when people figure out they can get more free stuff by voting for liberals, it is the beginning of the end” was prophetic and wise. That is how Lenin seduced the Russian people into going communist. But what is happening here now is worse than communism. The communist required you to work, they only guaranteed you a low paying job and subsidized cheap basic food items. Here, Obama has rescinded the required to work part in welfare reform. We actually now have more people receiving gov’t benefits than people who work.

No, Katie,

The real problem is criminal elected morons at both the federal and state levels who pass, or allow unelected bureaucrats to create de facto laws enabling the gigantic parasitic culture!

Or you can just assume that the criminal parasites are writing their own laws...

Two decades ago it wasn’t profitable to be a leach.
