You can't blame the guy for trying.

Sure I can.

This man was never a slave, his parents were never slaves and most likely his grandparents were never slaves.

Basically he wants to be rewarded for complaining.

Basically he is a two year old that is going to cry until he gets his cookie.

California is bankrupt and should be hacking away at spending with an ax not contemplating giving away money for absolutely no useful purpose.

So, let's say someone offers to buy your car for double or triple what it's worth. Would you take it? BTW, they want your car because it has great sentimental value to them.

And/or let's say that the governor of your state considers giving huge cash payments to people over 60 years of age (and you qualify), would you take it?

And let's say your governor is open to ideas about handing out huge cash payments to anyone who submits a good proposal. Would you submit such a proposal or blame a person who did?

Obviously, some of us would object to all the above on principle. I might be one of those. You too.

But most people would take the cash and say "screw the governor!" I don't know if I would blame them.
