Realistically, he made a rational choice and it’s paying off for him in spades. If not him, we would be paying someone else’s $4,000 pension.
Many good conservatives are on food stamps, pensions, SSDI, and so on. They do it because the system has become so twisted, that for many the only way to “get ahead” is to take government means. Personally, I wouldn’t be able to do that and look at myself in the mirror. But obviously not everyone has the same inhibitions.
Think of it as like the Monopoly free parking rule. Monopoly purists hate that rule. But, if they are forced to play by the rules, it’s very difficult to win the game if you refuse to take the money when you land on Free Parking.
It’s the system at fault, not the individual.
You bet, the government employees got their tax paid lottery style benefits and their tax paid retirement pensions and the rest of private sector America can eat sh*t!
Understood.
