I thought it was a foreign country - somewhere overseas.

I grew up in Montana and now work in Atlanta. It is a foreign country.

You people got it all wrong, someone announced they were hiring for a job, and everybody quickly ran AWAY!

"I thought it was a foreign country - somewhere overseas."

Essentially, that's what it is.

>. If the vouchers are not good until 3 or 4 years from today then why would all those people have to fill out the paperwork now alot of things change in 3 to 4
years<

Because when most people hear/read “housing” and “free”, they don’t care, they will go for it. One of my close buds works for the state here in CA, and across the hall where the welfare office is, it’s mostly black people lined up.

One of the state perks’ is free electricity and they know how to to apply for it. mexicans, blacks..they know where the free welfare stuff is. Seen it myself.

They don’t even pretend to want to work anymore. At least, previousxcommunist revolutions had the idea of work, the worker, etc. Read The Coming Insurrection...they clearly state they never intend on working.

"(courtesy of the US taxpayer)"

Half of those running goons are probably tax payers of some sort. And not by the courtesy of anyone. Stolen at the point of a gun from the best, the brightest, and the wealthiest in America.

Years ago, a story was told about a fellow that went into a rural community and bought some bags of corn and barb wire.

The locals asked him what he was up to, and he told them that he was going to catch a bunch of wild hogs, and that there would be a bunch of food for all.

The locals pleaded with him not to go, because those hogs were fierce and independant.

He went, and came back weeks later asking for help in butchering the hogs he had caught.

They said how did you do it?

He said, he just threw out some corn, and the hogs wouldn't touch it.

After a while, some of the younger hogs foraged the corn, and soon, all of the hogs were after the corn.

The hogs went nuts when they found out they were fenced in, but they were caught.

He told them I can fence any animal on the face of the earth that depends on me for a free handout.

That story was told by Tom Andeson who was the Editor of Farm and Ranch Magazine.

Today, what is it? 47% of the American public are fenced in.

There has got to be more to it than that. Where are these freeloaders living now?

You know they are already on the Dole and have their vouchers already, plus free food, plus free telephone, plus free utilites, plus free daycare (should they ever decide to work), free medical care via E.R. rooms. etc, etc, etc.

There is more than meets the eye on this one, like voter regristrations perhaps, get your DEM card here.

. I don’t have to worry about food being so high and stuff,” said Demetria Osbourne.

This makes me sick. It seems everyone is looking for the free ride. Meanwhile my entire family is working overtime if they can, two jobs or in the case of my daughter three. Welcome to Obamanation...

We had a stampede here in Richmond one year. A local on the scene described it as being reminiscent of the last chopper out of Saigon.

Yes this is what I was thinking it just seems odd to me to promise something to someone 3 or 4 years from now

I was in Saigon in April '75. The people were fleeing to freedom. The people in Dallas are headed to servitude.

How would you know that you’ll be needing financial assistance 3 or 4 years from now unless you’re disabled or a psychic?
