Shaking a hot baby in the sun like it is a rag doll and screaming to reporters that the baby is hot and the gubment needs to help you. That is how a tax recipient acts.
Taking a shovel and your bare hands and removing rubble from the street. That is how a tax payer acts.
Both have activities in common, like eating, sleeping, going to the bathroom.
I just saw a man, with a baby, when questioned about how he and the child survived, he said " this isn't my baby, I am holding it for the lady over there, very sick".
Sorry, I could not tell if he was a working stiff, or had been on welfare all of his life.
As I understand it, a lot of service industry people in N.O. black, and white, stayed to assist others. I still do not know if they were welfare pimps.
