To say the government is inefficient is surely an understatement. But what always blows me away is the amount of people that take advantage of this inefficiency. And it tends to be people that aren't, how can I put this nicely, as cerebrally advanced as the rest of the population.
It's a never ending cycle in a lot of parasitic families. The kids grow up in a household with expectations of entitlement. They feel like the government's sole purpose is to provide them with a living. The thought of pulling their own weight never enters the equation. Most Americans go to work every day, live within their means, pay their share of the taxes and sacrifice things so their children might have a chance to have a better life than they did. Basically, it boils down to being responsible.
The social parasite looks at the world in a whole other way. They are always looking for what they can get for free. If they have to lie in order to get those government entitlements, it's all part of the game as far as they're concerned. They don't want to work (who does!), so they might make up a story about being "disabled". There are times when this is perfectly legitimate and I have no problem with these people getting the help that they need. However, I get tired of the perfectly healthy SP's making up stories about a bad back, personality disorders, etc. News flash: most people have sore backs! But they still pull their weight and go to work everyday!
I hear stories about people getting SSI checks because they have issues with anger, depression, alcohol, bi-polar disorders, etc. Again, some may be legit, but most are total bullshit. If you've got issues with anger, grow up! Most people get past anger issues when they're ten years old.
And let me say something about alcoholism and drug abuse. It is not a disease. It's a choice. If you become addicted, it's because YOU allowed yourself to do so. Take some responsibility for a change! Don't expect me to me to support your sorry ass because you can’t put down the crack pipe! It’s not my problem and I don’t feel sorry for you! If life isn’t working out the way you planned, try doing something PRODUCTIVE! You might be surprised at the results.
We all know someone who has received welfare checks, food stamps, WIC, etc. When used for the right reasons, I believe these are great programs. Anyone can hit a bump in the road. And I have no problem helping them get up and on their way to a better life. However, for the social parasite, the government handouts are viewed more as a long term solution. They’ll take everything they can get and then ask for more.
And why do the poorest women tend to have the most babies? I’ll tell you why. It’s so they can get more money from the government. I have personally heard of social parasites bragging about how much money they get for each illegitimate baby. There’s probably a distinct sound of “ching ching” in the operating room as the newborn is delivered. And the checks keep rolling in for the next eighteen years!
Moving on, I’m no fan of Section 8 housing. Here’s a brief explanation. The government finds a poor family that can’t afford a home. They find a nice home in an established community. The government then moves the family of hoodlums into the home and picks up most of the expenses. The new residents destroy the home and proceed to put the “hood” in their new neighborhood. And we all pay for it!
I’m tired of picking up the tab for these assholes. And with President Obama’s socialist views, things will likely get a hell of a lot worse. At some point, maybe we should all quit our jobs and live off of the sagging tit of the American government.
Now, there’s some hope and change for ya!
