Ping to a Republican-American Editorial.
If you want on or off this list, let me know.
I don’t know Looter Guy is doing quite well for himself LOL!
And this is exactly the kind of reason that the more you can take the gubmint out of the welfare business, the better off society is.
The Apostle Paul says, “he who won’t work, shouldn’t eat”. I have great compassion for people who genuinely need help but the government isn’t capable of providing either compassion or true help—they just give handouts to cheats and liars who abuse Americans’ trust.
I find this neither amazing or unexpected. When the teat finally runs dry they will be on every news channel, crying about the cruelty of George Bush and the evil republicans for making them (gasp) work to earn a living. I really believe they think that society “owes” them.
Its freeloaders like these mentioned that make honest people wonder why they work so hard just for GovCo. to snatch it away and hand it to the favored few.
I go By the Waterbury Republican Newspapers Headquarters a Few Times a Week and I am Really proud of that One Newspaper in Connecticut That gets it right !!!
No pride and a lifestyle provided to them via others working and paying taxes. The US was built on people with pride, to ashamed to take, so they worked very hard to not have stigma attached to them as a ‘drain on society.’
Liberalism, starting with LBJ’s War on Poverty, coupled with unchecked breeding and immigration, take the stigma away from not wanting to survive by one’s own efforts....the full effect of this is hand-out promising (and delivering) politicians that espouse Robin Hood for the ‘Hood...and build up a political power base by using tax money to fund people that refuse to work.
(See Barack Obama, Sheila Jackson-Lee, Maxine Waters, Ted Kennedy, Barbara Lee)
I want on this List Thank You
The idea that thousands of jobs were available just a bus ride or subway ride away and hundreds were available within walking distance just never crossed his mind in all those months.
LOL...the editors have a sense of humor.
I know Obama wouldn't expect this “victim” to actually go out and look for work, but I wonder if he will expect her to turn her thermostat down.

You have been added.
These same people are complaining because it is taking to long to get NOLA back to the way it was. Yet the employers can’t find enough people to do the work.
These Career Refugees have nothing on the Palstinians.
If it's set on 60, it's probably already down as far as it will go.
Most were welfare-dependents before the hurricane, and they’re welfare-dependents now. This is news? If FEMA cuts them off, they’ll just go back on state or county aid.
This kind of a statement always disgusts me, and there are sooo many things wrong with it... for one, it doesn't speak for me and many others like me.
"Generosity" means that someone willingly, voluntarily, temporarily, helps out another person in need.
Chronic welfare dependents are existing on money stolen (via taxes) from people who stand on their own feet and provide for themselves. We weren't asked to provide the money for welfare voluntarily... the money is forced from us (via taxes). Taxes are never voluntary.
But welfare dependents (and politicians) don't give a rat's @$$ where the money comes from, as long as it keeps on coming.
