you may just have hit the nail on the head with this one! but in reality how many whining repukes do you know who absolutely preach against any kind of welfare (or social benefits as others call them) have relatives who use them? I'll tell you I know several personally! they either have grown children or grandchildren on ssi,getting food stamps,rent subsidies,heating coupons or using church or other free food banks or all of the above! And when you ask them if they are so against it why does your family use it? their answer well my family really need it! they aren't playing the system! hmmm drugs,alcohol and unable to show up for work was the reason he lost his job(include oui's and loss of license)! its the same old story their the first to grab and the last to pay the check!
do your self a favor go to a budget session in your town;see who is on the board! who do they work for? do they own a business ? who got last years bid? who whines the most about taxes at the local coffee shop?
hmm thought so!
