WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU???? YES!! Someone with a lack of employment should not be allowed to eat steak and expensive foods from our tax payer dollars. Pleasure, comfort, enjoyment and entertainment are not rights!!!

So, you're in favour of my anti-steak guards idea then?
You're starting to sound like a walking, talking parody right this moment, I'm just letting you know. And you're most certainly suffering from a case of misdirected rage - there are others that are far more worthy of your contempt out there, you know.

Quote:It’s Ayn Rand’s America now: Republicans have stripped the country of its last shred of morality

Quote:America is in moral crisis. Many Americans seem far more interested in making sure that those they consider undeserving - basically, the poor - get nothing than in making sure that they themselves get something.

Quote:There were three farmers: a German, a Hungarian and an American. Each had a cow. One day, misfortune befell them, and their cows died. Each remonstrated against God, saying God had failed him, and each lost faith. God realized he had to do something to make amends. So he came to Earth and approached the German.
"What can I do to restore your faith?" He asked. And the German answered, "God, I lost my cow. Please give me another cow." And God did so.
"What can I do to restore your faith?" He asked the Hungarian. And the Hungarian answered, "God, I lost my cow. Please give me that cow and another to compensate." And God did so.
And finally God came to the American, and He asked, "What can I do to restore your faith?" And the American answered, "God, I lost my cow. Shoot my neighbor's cow."

Republicans brought us here with the assistance of a passive media. Whether we can bring ourselves back is the new existential question. Until then, we are shooting our neighbor's cow.

To say that the less fortunate are not allowed to eat decent food or even treat themselves when they can actually afford to is just absolutely disgusting. Why should the unemployed and the working poor be forced to live on fucking instant noodles or whatever?

I certainly hope you never end up in that position, LPW but it might open your eyes a bit to the struggles of those who aren't as well off as you are. You really ought to be ashamed of yourself.

It is apparently the price that republicunts demand so they can continue to think they are superior.

So you wish for the unemployed to suffer for the crime of being unemployed?

Didn't we try this before in Britain with debtors prison?

Indeed.

"Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?"

It's at times like this that I try to remind people of the wise word of Supreme Court justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jnr.

Quote:I like to pay taxes. With them, I buy civilization

By the way, most of the people on assistance are children. Their parents work, but need assistance because minimum wage isn't enough to sustain a family.

How dare these people have kids!
