You’re not in the real world, John. That much is obvious. Out of curiosity, what do you do for a living and how old are you?

What do you consider living in the REALworld? One where everybody expects the gov't to take care of them from cradle to grave? If so no I do not. I am 57 and I have worked from the time I was about 12 delivering papers. Then I moved on to working in a grocery store. I went into the military during Viet Nam. I then worked in, managed and eventually owned a restaurant. Due to an over abundance of restaurants in the area I was forced to close. I went back to school. while in school I worked at a convenience store, installed siding, layed block and bricks. I did anything and everything I could. I now have a job at a very liberal establishment, which would probably frown upon me arguing with another liberal so I will not mention it.

Ok. So you’re 57 and currently employed... emphasis on ‘currently’. So I take it that your stance is...if you are laid off due to the economy, you’ll refuse to file for unemployment benefits. Right?

I’m over 50 and have worked since I was 16. And until now...I had never been dependent upon the federal government. But, since... due to the DemocRat-created economy...the state is out of funds for unemployment benefits, which doesn’t happen to be my fault...I am now.

And for the record...I’m a conservative, not a liberal. In fact, I’m so far right, I’d probably make YOU look like a liberal.
