It is against conservative principles to take advantage of “free” handouts.

Would you rather the tax dollars stolen from you go to someone else? Look, it's time to realize that this is a war, not a disagreement. These liberals are enslaving us. They are the enemy of a free nation. If you ever want to see a free country again, you have to be willing to do what is necessary to win this. Every dollar that you get, whether by reducing taxable earnings or by taking advantage of a government handout, is one less dollar that will be spent to feed the enemy and his cause.

It's against my principals and morals to shoot and kill other people. But in self defense, I will do so if necessary.

There is always work even if it is doing the jobs that the illegal aliens do now.

I'm not advocating not working. I'm advocating working only enough to get by so as to minimize taxable income. I'm advocating taking advantage of the idiotic giveaways that our socialist government has made available. If you can get a federal grant for watching the mating habits of the common squirrel, then by all means take the grant, set on the deck, and watch the squirrels do their seductive dance.

The ship is going down. Stop baling water and grab a lifeboat before they get it.

Yes, for me - I would rather pick apples and cut firewood and live a subsistence life; rather than participate in a program that is not Constitutional.

It is a slippery slope. It is the path that led us to where we are today.

To kill the beast you must stop feeding it and stop accepting its handouts.

Lead by example.

Your comment reminds me of what happened in 2000 at the airline where I used to work. Our pilots staged a "slow down" rather than an all-out strike because the company cut back on hiring new pilots and put out communications that current staff should "pick up the load." It worked this way: according to their contract at the time, the minimum number of flight time hours per month for pilots was 65 hours. The maximum was 90 (if I remember correctly). On average, most pilots would fly 70-80 hours per month by trading trips, picking up trips.

Instead of a walkout, they just all flew their minimum of 65 hours for the summer of 2000. And it threw the entire travel industry into a tizzy. Does anyone remember that summer? Flight cancellations all over the system. It was absolute chaos. I remember one flight where passengers were screaming obscenities at the pilots as they deplaned. It was insane. The pilots were there, they flew the trip - yet the media had played them all out to be the bad guys. They were just refusing to pick up the extra hours. In other words, they "shrugged."
