I have an idea: Lets take away all the governments money....hell, we don’t have houses, car, food, clothes, insurances, and work 2-3 jobs a day, 7 days a week, what can they take away from us...

Put us in jail, you say? At least we would have a roof over our heads, a bed to sleep in, a t.v. to watch, and three meals a day....

Or $100. There are plenty of jobs that are worth $20/hour (or $100/hour) -- but there aren't too many of them that are to be found in a fast-food restaurant.

I might start eating fast food again when I know I probably won’t contract a variety of diseases from 3rd-worlders.
