a obama fan... “I’m encouraged that Obama will make our senior citizens earn their paychecks. “”

I am just days away from 69 y/o.
I have worked and paid taxes since I was 16.
I have earned the soc sec I contributed to.

I didn’t “claim a SSI disability” to start sucking out of Soc Sec at age 21.
I didn’t use drugs. I didn’t drink and drive. I didn’t impact the judicial system.
I didn’t get a “new scooter” from the “Scooter store” for free thru medicare.
I didn’t get a lawyer to get SSI when I didn’t deserve it.

I worked. I still work.
There are so many phony people who are claiming all kinds of disabilities so they can sit on their behinds and collect SSI, it is really an epidemic.

“Share the American Experience?””
Michelle-—this is the woman who claimed that the first series of stimulus checks of “ONLY” $600 “wasn’t enough to buy a decent pair of earrings”.

Somehow, I don’t think she has had the same “American Experience” that I and many of my friends have enjoyed.
None of us have ever bought a $600 pair of earrings. That was the price of my house payment....which I paid from 1966 forward.

Oboma’s a miserable failure already, and the electorates haven’t even given him their votes yet.

yup, it is epidemic!
it is amazing that some peeps will take the loss of a finger or toe etc to draw a paycheck without working. brings a whole new meaning to the expression “i would give my right arm to....”
welfare too. i am sure some need the help, but most dont. it is a way of life passed down from generation to generation in some neighborhoods.
lets put these peeps to work, earning their government pay. i am sick of bailing out billion dollar companies, deadbeat crackheads and lazy peeps who abuse the system.
for all the help the tax payer has given to the ungrateful masses we should be able to retire without having to “earn” what we already paid in for from years of hard work!
