What, me work? Public assistance recipients earning double their income in benefits
Some interesting news from the Wisconsin Reporter. Amerika may sound like the land of milk and honey, but state and federal governments are nearing, if not beyond, being out of money. They’ll either go bust, or bust taxpayers who already aren’t doing so well.
It all still sounds great when promised on paper, until your money isn’t worth thepaper on which it’s printed. That’s when everything is going to hit the fan if we don’t turn things around, which is precisely what Romney and Ryan have committed to – while having the track record and expertise to suggest they can do it.
A Wisconsin lawmaker says the state’s “generous” suite of publicly funded benefits is a disincentive to work and an assault on hard-working, middle-class wage earners.

The other side of this outrage is that over 100 million are on welfare.

Well, we’re all certainly glad you finally bought a clue and figured that one out, Bunky.
Welcome aboard; there’s always room for one more.

I’m expected to have more than double the experience, work twice as hard, and take no sick time because any shortfall would make me a “wimp” or “slacker”, all because I was born a white male, just to keep ANY job.
I would be ashamed…(ASHAMED !!) if I wasn’t bringing home some kind of scratch that I worked for.
so eff you…you wimpy slackers.
