I’m not laughing... this stuff makes me angry. Angry at these becoming law, and even more angry that nothing is done to stop it. Meanwhile people like me are at work how many months of the year just to pay taxes.
I take this stuff personally. When I think of the TEA Party, this is primary reason I side with them. This recklessness with our hard earned paychecks (to fund such foolishness) is beyond an insult. It’s an attack on my God given freedom and an attack on my family.
It gets worse. My friend had to go to the unemployment office. She spent 5 hours there, and one of the things she heard made me so mad I could spit.
A man from Nigeria was applying for unemployment benefits. (that's bad enough) The agent helping him asked if he had children. He said he had a son, who lives in Nigeria with his mother, who he doesn't support. The agent said "you should add him to your application because you will get a lot more money." The Nigerian man declined, saying he didn't support him. The agent continued to push him, knowing the whole situation, until the man firmly declined.
As far as I am concerned, the agent should be in jail for promoting fraud.
You have the proper attitude.
