But I am sick and tired of seeing fit and healthy people who choose not to work, who refuse to take menial jobs because of a false sense of entitlement, while there are poor, needy and desperate individuals working hard but having to rely on meager handouts and struggling to pay basic bills

Well, then, doc - why don't you just do like all the other liberals do and ignore the existence of the former type of person and just feel good about yourself for caring about(without actually doing anything to help) the latter group?

This oral medication would cure that heroin addict's problem real fast.

Take the money currently being paid to people who refuse to work and use it to supplement the working poor.

I’m confused about why you see anything in the sentence you quote as liberal. He’s drawing a line between the deserving and undeserving poor, which is verboten in liberalism.

I quite agree with him.

That was kind of my point...

He’s a “socialist” because he thinks that that’s the best way to “help people”,

but he’s finally seeing first hand that it doesn’t work.

Other liberals simply refuse to see or acknowledge that this is the outcome every time it’s tried.

You mean "the DISABLED"...
Did you ever notice what those in disabled parking are driving?...
Or watch them walk into the "store" quite "able"..?.
and well dressed?.

What is the count of americans on food stamps these days?.. Obama is PUNISHMENT to the Unites States... as Bush Jr. WAS.. And "WE" deserve it..

What we need is a SECOND PARTY... not a third..

I am sure that some will insist that capsule is too small to handle the problem.

A close relative of mine works at “community clinics” in NY City. Deals with a lot of poor, diabetic/obese, drug addict, HIV-gay, etc... nearly all are on Welfare and Medicaid.

She will often see some things clearly - blame the individual for stupid behavior, - throwing away or selling medicines (and then asking for more free), not following treatment plans, continued risky behavior. Or, she will note the cycle of ignorance and government hand-outs these folks are trapped in.

Yet somehow, in the big-picture, its still “the system’s” fault. Neo-cons, Bush, the 1%, the Koch Brothers - whatever the slogan of the day is, they are to blame

Liberalism is a mental disorder. The writer has it. I see it all the time.

Off hand, I’d say that round casing has been through the sawdust more than once or twice...

Still, looks like 45 ACP, so it’s a good choice.

Ben... Ben... Ben...

With that attitude, how are we going to create a dependent class that empowers big government?

What are you thinking?
