The most intelligent thing you have said here. [/b]
So, does that mean nothing I said about trying to not be living off of government handouts was not intelligent.
Or that you shouldn't make others pay for your own poor choices... is that what was not intelligent?
You guys must be hard-core socialists... I am just shocked to learn how accepting the Constitutional Militia guys are of socialism.
Edited for spelling* [/b]What you have said is based on the sterotype image for those on assistance. Has it not crossed your mind that most of those on assistance would rather not be there? Many are on assistance for reasons not of their own making. Lost jobs, hurt on the job, jobs shipped out of country, etc.
Being on assitance, you are constantly having to jump thru government hoops to get the little that you do get. Most are on assistance to SURVIVE, you can not maintain a very high standard of living living off of government assistance. To live off of government assistance is to live in perpetual poverty.
You compare recieving assistance to the values the Militia represents. You are comparing apples with oranges, the two are not related. One is receiving help from government and the other fighting government from TAKING freedoms and rights away.
The amount of money spent on giving people assistance pales in comparison to the billions wasted by government in other areas. IE IRAQ! Financial Bailouts! etc. You are complaining about wasted peanuts, while the government is destroying the whole crop!
