The problem with some liberals is the fact that they want to just give money out to people. I should clarify such a statement: by having all these "aid" programs for different groups of people, don't you see your further perpetuating their dependence on the government? Everyone bitches about taxes...liberals, conservatives, whites, blacks, mexicans. Do you realize how much of your tax dollars is going to pay for people who refuse to look for work because they're living off of government checks? Much of this money is parlayed on non-necessitites (which keeps many of the people who are "using" the system in the same plight). Go down to your local pharmacy in the bad neighborhood and watch how many people come in with their medicaid cards for things like hydrocodone (an addictive pain medication), or vicoden, hell watch how many of them try to by syringes (for their "insulin") with their little blue or green card. Yeah, that's what your money is paying for. Whatever happened to "Pull yourself up by your bootstraps"? Well, we lost that whole ideal as a society years ago when people started cheating the system.
Hey, I'm all for helping those in need. But DAMN it makes it hard to care when I know that a lot of those people in need are indirectly stabbing me in the back on a daily basis by cheating the government for money and then using it on worthless shit just because they're an addict. Quit being a bunch of pussies and look at the facts. Many of these people DO NOT need federal aid. Sure, a lot of them do, so what do you want me to do about it? Go down there and build them a goddamn new house?
I'm sick and tired of you hippie assholes coming on here and telling me how bad everyone has it. You know what? When I said I was in support of the war, someone on here said to me: why don't you go over to Iraq and see if you're still in support? So I challenge you posters who want all this federal aid to go to the victims (I'm not talking about the aid going to pay for new streets, schools, etc., I'm talking about the direct deposits the government is trying to put into their accounts or give out as "debit cards"), get your whiny asses down to NO and help these people out. Donate your entire paychecks. Do whatever it takes to get these people back on the streets of New Orleans where many of them can lie, cheat, and steal to continue to make their livings. Go ahead...
Note: the last paragraph was written exactly how a liberal would write it. Don't bother responding to my post because I won't be back to view your response. Letsrun "politicians" are among the dumbest in the world. Can some people on this board who always create posts about how intelligent runners are please stop? Runners are NOT smart people as a whole.
