Oh, well. Quite the observant cooky, aren't you? Have it all figured out, even more so since people at rightwinger rallies are all smiles and daisies.

No shit, maybe if assholes like KUSA wouldn't be judgmental fucks nobody would be getting angry. But scapegoating is how bullies work, accuse the other of what you are doing and started.

You are welcome to try to pass laws for that if you wish, see how far you get.

No law will make you you worth a fuck. You will always be a tick.

You do realise that 'the left' aren't some homogeneous mass of people who all think and talk the same way don't you?

Well, yes, but how many left-leaning people here treat all right-leaning people as such?

Very few people actually want to play the system and live on benefits. It's a myth put around by the media. Most people want a job and want to work for themselves.

Bullshit! I have met, not heard of but met, lots of people that are scamming the system.

I know people that claim to have mental issues that are actually fine and have admitted it to me. They get a crazy check every month.

I knew a guy years ago that had someone break his leg with a bat. He sued an insurance company claiming that he fell down a staircase because of a carpet seam that tripped him. Then he went on disability because the damage to his leg was worse than what he anticipated and he couldn't walk right afterwards.

I worked with a fellow in the Navy that had a minor shoulder problem that was fixed but kept complaining about it so he could get a medical discharge and disability.

There are so many cases like this. I don't have to read about them on the Internet, I have met them face to face.

I'm glad somebody else noticed his hypocrisy. Brian is very judgmental and verbally abusive.

Okay, but out of how many millions of people in this country? Maybe a small handful that you've personally met or known when compared to the millions and millions of people that live in America? Yeah - that small number is just that. Small. You cannot lump everyone or nearly everyone in the same category as the people you happened to have met or known. That isn't fair. A few bad apples doesn't spoil the entire bunch. 
And I too, can say the same, that I have met a few people who have taken advantage of the system. But there are also more people that are taking responsibility for their lives. I know at least ten times as many of those, as I do of the scammers. 
And getting angry at the small numbers of people who are scamming the government is a waste of time when you could be spending just as much energy getting angry at the huge numbers of corporations that ship jobs overseas, taking away employment from people here. 
Really, can we get this topic back on track now?

Since I have met a generous amount of them it stands to reason that there are plenty more of them.

I don't lump everyone in that category. You don't appear to fall in it. I don't mind helping you since you are trying to do the right thing.

There are an enormous amount of scammers and they give folks like you a bad rap. I do recognize that there are people that are genuinely trying to do the right thing, such as yourself.

I am very upset at the corporations for doing that. However, it is the government that allows it and actually causes it through shitty legislation. Both parties are bought and paid for.

Yes. Trump 2016!
