Then tell them to get over it. They pay taxes. It's not like they're just taking a free hand out.

But when they do it themselves it has to be someone else's fault.

See what I am saying here?

I was expanding on what you were saying. I get what you're getting at.

I found out that people who I would never have guessed as being racist, racist sob's since we elected our first Black, very competent President. If Obama was a bumbling fool like w was then things might be different. The old white mans club can't have this man be perceived as a good President. They're scared to death that their time has passed and now its time for Minorities and our Ladies to ascend to the Oval Office.

I'm holding out for a Woman President next. She would be a perfect follow up to President Obama.
Without a lot of crooked politics and out right thievery I don't see the pukies having another person in the white house for years and years. They've truly shown their true allegiance and it is plain for all to see it is not to we the people.

That's the maddening part. The rest is sad.

Some of the biggest welfare kings I know are deeply entrenched republicans.

In time to come, this guy will undoubtedly come to the correct conclusion that unemployment benefits were part of his due. When you work, some of your hourly effort goes toward financing unemployment benefits. It's not an entitlement, it's something you've paid for. Where the rubber hits the road is in the "Well, I deserved it" mentality when it collides with the "But other (unnamed, but we all know who we're talking about) people don't." Sometimes they can be helped to see that the same system that helped them through a thin spot works the same way for other people, too. And isn't it better to have people get some occasional help than to have to rely on other methods (like turning to crime) to get by?

I talked with one who was angry that she couldn't collect unemployment because she had quit her last job.
