47. You gave just the right response.
"The conversation turned to healthcare. My friend's new hubby started the GOP mantra, "Well I don't want to see MY tax dollars go to help some woman who won't get off her ass and work for a living" He went on to say how he was in back of a woman in a grocery store who used food stamps and then got into a waiting nicer car, blah blah blah..."Well I don't think US policy should be written to appease YOUR sense of spite". I told him and my girlfriend to go quit their jobs and go on welfare if they think it's such a high fallutin' lifestyle."

Exactly. These people never, ever stop bitching about the non-working who collect some sort of meager, bottom of the barrel benefit from the government. If they think it's such a great deal for those collecting the benefits, they are wholeheartedly encouraged to quit work and sign up.

Otherwise, shut the hell up.
