The saga of a surfing, lobster-eating food stamp recipient continued on "Hannity" as the 29-year-old refused Sean's assistance in finding a paying job.
You may remember Jason Greenslate from his interview with Bill O'Reilly's producer Jesse Watters. Greenslate was first captured on camera by Fox News while purchasing lobster with taxpayer-funded food stamps.

Friend told me of some immigrants, non mexicans that are all on public assistance across the board no one has worked in years, but every year the whole family goes on a cruise.
shut up — you are a complete moron who has no scope of the reality of what is going on out there. Due to no fault of my own I lost an excellent job working for a defense contractor because I refused to illegally mischarge work to a charge number I knew it was illegal to use. I have 2 degrees one in computer science. I ultimately lost all my savings trying to pay mortgage. No one wants to hire someone 50.+ I lost my house and nearly all possessions, and eventually the car was seized because I could not pay repair bills. for 1.5 years I slept on a couch in the church hall.
I then had a job/ lost because an a-hole of a boss wouldn’t give me a 10 buck spiff I was owed — pulled a 600 dollar advertising sale on a cold call and money paid right on debit — literally the difference between me eating at all that day or getting to work next day.He said “oh, I changed that spiff and forgot to say. I objected and was fired. ALL I qualified for besides unemployment was 69 a month ebt (no kids)—and i was grateful — until a friend took me in I had no one and no whereto go or to cook anything. so stfu. You know nothing the hell obama has put good people though — I HOPE it happens to you some day— because with stupid people that is the only way they learn - by suffering. and don’t suggest I become a 58 year old long distance truck driver - a woman my age with severe anemia is not a good candidate - and don’t think of prattling about lack of kids or husband. My husband died of brain tumor. jackasses like lobster boy ruin it for all.
I saw that interview when I was at a friend's business. He owns a rooming house and I was fixing his computer there. 2 of the residents (both working part time so they get food stamps) said that guy is wrong.
Both of those people said if someone offer them a job, they would take it. Another guy, who lives there said it his right to eat lobster and he needs to practice surfing and his music.
so if you have a good job and lose it suddenly all the good stuff you own and bought with your own money instantly turns into trash. got it. Noe if she bought the wallet after she became unemployed you’d have a bitch. as it is you don’t know
“No one wants to hire someone 50.+ “
Not true. I get job offers all the time in programming and I am 55. When I retire, I will double my income.
Your story is sad and compelling, but on the original point of the thread, would you have taken the $80,000 per year job Hannity offered? I hope you would have.
The entire point of this article is to point out the rampant mooching on the system as an endemic problem. Are there people really suffering? Of course. Does the system keep people within its structure? Either by removing the will to work, or stymieing the economic growth, you bet it does.
I hope this guy can get to keep surfing. I also hope for a resurgence in the great white shark population.
“jackasses like lobster boy ruin it for all.”
No, putting charity in the hands of government ruins it for all.
if i was an able bodied male - hell yes I’d love to boot lobster boy right up the rear end. I’m a little pissed too because if hannity Had gone down to the unemployment line he’d have had plenty of takers — it’s like he looked for a poster boy for douchebags to tar and feather everyone on food stamps. see? 1 cheats - ergo they all cheat — btw if you are homeless but do get unemployment i highly recommend joining a kroc center — for 30 bucks a month I could sower everyday and swim and exercise too — they saved my sanity when I was still sleeping on the church couch.
And you pay taxes too. Join the club.
The solution here will not come from or through our government. It will come from individuals, from men with cujones.
Courtesy of you and me, My FRiend. There could be a little extraculurar activity such drug selling and pimping going on, but mainly it is the taxpayer that foots the bill.
I am so sorry to hear of your story. The same thing sort of happened to me. But I only wish it happened to the people that did it to me.
I ended up losing everything. Nothing that can’t be replaced but I am also too old but I am working. Making half of what I used to.
My prayers to you.
I have empathy for your situation. The only solace I can offer you is that before this is over, the ones who inflicted this on you [and me] will be in the same boat that we are now in. The only difference between us and them will be that they will not have the intelligence to understand that they are the ones that inflicted their suffering upon themselves. They will blindly, willingly, and stupidly follow their messiah to the gates of hell. Their last conscious thought will be, "This is all Bush' fault".
