How Dare You.

Poor? Destitute? In need of a little help from your neighbor to make ends meet? Tough shit. You should have picked better parents. If you'd have picked parents with good educations, you would have had a much better chance to go on to college to get a good education yourself. You're just the present generation of a long line of wastrels. How do I know? Well, just look at you. What did those shoes cost--30 bucks? You have no pride in your appearance. Off the rack jeans? Please. And that tee-shirt? What was it--a K-Mart two dollar special? :eyes: You get what you pay for.

Must suck to be you.

So, yeah... Blame your parents. Of course, there are those who aren't born to rich parents who manage to make it, so maybe it's not all about poverty. Maybe it's about laziness. Since I've heard of people who've pulled themselves up by their own bootstraps, it's obvious anyone can do it. I'm just lucky because I didn't have to. I'm lucky, you're lazy.

See how this works?

If we need to see a doctor, we just call a concierge and invite him over for a house call. All you poor people--well, isn't that why we have emergency rooms? If you can't afford to pay your bill, well, maybe you need to get over it. People worked hard to fix your smelly, sniveling kid's broken arm last month and they deserve their money. Get the kid a trained monkey and get back to work. People need your money. You can't expect the world to stop because your little baby got hit by a car.

Food? I don't know why anyone would need food stamps. Or those little cards they use these days. I mean, isn't that why we have food banks? Seriously, there are just so many people who expect everything handed to them. If they're not stealing it themselves, they're convincing the government to do it for them. I donated a couple cans of yams the other year. I contribute, see?

Hey, you, kid! Drop that cookie. I didn't pay my taxes so your mama could buy you junk food! How dare you.

What do you mean you want more education funding? If you don't like the public school system, put your kids in private school. The best thing is that you can decide what you want them taught and send them to the specific schools that cater to your prejudices. Isn't that lovely?

How dare you expect something I don't need. If I don't want it, you shouldn't need it. Right? If I don't need assistance for food, why should you? Just work harder. That'll get you everything you need. Or so I've been told. Don't like the education your kids are getting, well, pay for better. Don't expect me to do it. I have my own kids to take care of. Medical care? Go to the E.R., you bum. Just thank God you live in America, where at least you know you're free.

Not so much?

Whiner. Hey, you could have been born to starve someplace like Calcutta. Count yourself lucky. At least in America a lazy piece of shit like yourself can get a few meals a week, sucking at the public teat. Be thankful we don't just send you to India, you loser. Outsource your ass just like we outourced your job.

Seriously, folks. Expecting me and my taxes to pay for your food, medical care, school system, and some so-called "safety net" crap is like expecting me to pay for someone to put out the fire if your house is burning down. That would be crazy.

Oh, wait. What?
