[Reeses]

Here I am, an honest patriotic upright citizen, native born, never been in prison, pay all my bills on time, work my a$$ off, and I get grudgingly paid half what this scuzz bucket does for doing nothing but trying to bring my nation to its knees. He gets a £250,000 four bedroom detached in leafy suburbia. I get a crumbling two up two down in the town centre, total value £60,000 (if it can be sold).

It's easy to tell you are from Europe because you are completely torn up with envy. What is up with that? It's ok to dislike someone, their job, and their politics, but envy is not ok. No matter how good your job, money, or house, someone somewhere is always going to have something better than you. You can be happy for what you do have or you can spend your time having a pity party.

UPDATE: Wilders told AP that he is forced to leave the UK within 1 hour.

I think you missed the point of his post - that it's a disgrace that people who don't work in his country are taking advantage of people who do. He was merely using the example that someone who doesn't work was given a better house than his, even though he works every day.

You're the one who comes off looking poorly here, not Vanders9.

Let’s take your tax dollars then, and buy Malibu beachfront properties to the Gitmo lads.

You wouldn’t be annoyed that a scumball like that is being paid more money by the government in welfare benefits and a local government provided house for doing f((( all except promote terrorism, than you earn through honest labour?
Damn right he should be annoyed, especially as its his hard-earned tax money that is helping to pay for said scumball’s overlavish lifestyle.

Nobody (least of all a terrorist promoter and sympathiser) should get more money in welfare for sitting on their arse than somebody who is actually working. That isn’t envy, that is just common sense....

I wasn’t being envious, I have no problem with people who are more skilled, smarter, more ambitious and/or work harder than me being rewarded more for it. What gets my goat is that this guy gets all of that and not only does nothing useful to earn it, but in fact is positively working to destroy what I believe in!

I’m not envious - I’m angry. Wouldn’t you be? As a taxpayer, I’m paying for that man to live in better housing, doing less work, and in better conditions than I am. That (and only that) is the reason I detailed my financial situation. Actually, I am happy with my lot in life, because I don’t value material possessions particularly highly.
