The Other America: "Taxpayers Are The Fools... Working Is Stupid"

Tyler Durden

While what little remains of America's middle class is happy and eager to put in its 9-to-5 each-and-every day, an increasing number of Americans - those record 91.5 million who are no longer part of the labor force - are perfectly happy to benefit from the ever more generous hand outs of the welfare state. Prepare yourself before listening to this... calling on her self-admitted Obamaphone, Texas welfare recipient Lucy, 32, explains why "taxpayers are the fools"...

"...To all you workers out there preaching morality about those of us who live on welfare... can you really blame us? I get to sit around all day, visit my friends, smoke weed.. and we are still gonna get paid, on time every month..."

She intends to stay on welfare her entire life, if possible, just like her parents (and expects her kids to do the same). As we vociferously concluded previously, the tragedy of America's welfare state is that work is punished.

How are things in the early 1960’s? I miss that place.

Both are before my time, but I think I'd like to live in 1950's America.

Ain't an ounce of pride or ambition in her whole body and there never will be any.

The leeches are increasing exponentially.

You are going to allow an ignorant self absorbed low life help you describe who you are? One day we have to answer to God. Taxpayers are most certainly not the fools. Its responsible and mature to work for what we own. Anyone that says otherwise is as ignorant as this low life in the article. Furthermore, smoking pot and sitting with friends is not my idea of a good life.

I’m thinking one day these people will have a rude awakening. Maybe the way you suggest, or maybe because the System finally collapses of its own weight.

If there is any justice in this world, let it be so.

She’s lying up to a point. You can’t support a family of 5 on what she gets and still buy drugs unless someone is not eating.

And this is the fallacy of our constitution. The founding fathers were smart guys.... but they still screwed up. The fact that a slim majority can elect officials to take money away from working people. Its a broken system, and there is no fix.

Hey I am a devout Catholic working for nothing for these people that want to hire me to eradicate their family members. I have to spend a good amount of time explaining that a family law case is not like any other, it’s your family and you are stuck with one another and supposed to be honorable. These people want to be liars and dishonest and are ticked at me when I won’t because they are the ones supposedly in charge.

It’s a damn mess and I am livid about it, but no one cares.

I was so lucky as to grow up in the 1950s. And it was great!

We’re not suppose to hate the poor. We’re suppose to pray for them. To feed them. To tell them about the Savior. Not just send them a check every month without helping them. We people, churches, we’re suppose to help take care of the poor. Government will never do it right.

The early 1960’s and the 1950’s were essentially the same place. Were there problems? Sure. All time periods contained bad people, bad situations, poverty and strife. Was it better than now? I can’t even describe it to you. I wish you could’ve seen it, though. No, we didn’t have cell phones, 800 TV channels, big box retailers, computerized cars, Starbucks, video games, big screens, etc. So what?

From Rudyard Kipling, a century ago:
...

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."

Then the Gods of the Market tumbled, and their smooth-tongued wizards withdrew
And the hearts of the meanest were humbled and began to believe it was true
That All is not Gold that Glitters, and Two and Two make Four
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings limped up to explain it once more.

As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;

And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!

It'd be easier for me to tell you what my ex-wife didn't accuse me of than what she did. LOL

If corporate America did not sell off our manufacturing secrets and train cheaper labor force to replace good paying middle class jobs, plus in the process of replacing good high tech jobs, Americans will not be looking a welfare and food stamps emass. Obama and Dems did not make it better with higher regs and taxes, but the GOP slammed America with free trade, WTO, MFN etc etc etc. Remember, Loral (corporate America) sold the accurate guidance to the PLA whom today used it to accurately aim DF-21 ICBM at US aircraft carriers. The electronics on excellent copies of Soviet fighters and new weapons were given to them by US corporation in trade off for cheap high tech manufacturing and soon to be IT engineers and etc.
The only well off working Americans will be the core trade secret talent hired by high tech Silicon Valley, and if you cannot get hired by them the only job you have is stocking warehouses in Best Buy/Walmart or work as a bar tender catering to the few lucky upper middle class techies. Don t try to get manual labor job, corporate America want illegal immigrants for that. Big gov and Big business has broken the decent American, the ones broken will take welfare, the ones not broken will revolt.

These people see things in a bubble. If we had a 10th of the motivation of the 50s , we would be much further ahead.

There are plenty that care. In my neck of the woods I work with discarded at risk teenage wantabe thugs and gangsters. Its a vile evil world. Remember, there is nothing new under the son. God is in control. After all didn’t He just expose Obamacare for the stink that it is? :). Keep on. Stay strong.
