I read on Free Republic:

Some people work for a living, others vote for a living.

***Nothing wrong with hamburger!***

I like hamburger, but the last time I went to Walmart I got STICKER SHOCK! Hamburger has gone way up in price! it is now cheaper to buy a pot roast (my other favorite) and grind it into hamburger.

At the moment, by the grace of God, I’ve got more venison in the freezer than any other meat.

At the moment, by the grace of God, I’ve got more venison roaming around in my back woods than I could ever need.

Any system that robs Peter and gives to Paul can always count on Paul’s support.

What is wrong with this picture? Half of everyone in the U.S. is not “poor.” We are the wealthiest nation in the world

Needs to be said more often by Republicans. We need a reality check.

Heck, I live up in N Georgia. Everytime I go to Wally World I end up behind some fat white girl, guy, baby-daddy with a goddam EBT card.

Yesterday I was behind two fat girls in early 20s with a kid. Piles of junk food, 4 packs of 6-pack twist-off sugar drinks for the kid, chips, snacks and TV dinners....$304 and she whipped out the Peach Card - walks off fat and happy to her newer SUV....it is disgusting.

These people don’t have to work. They get several thousand a year in EITC, they get Section 8 housing, EBT, AFDC, WICs SCHIP and a crap load of other programs. They ain’t stupid - why work when some old fool like me will foot the bill?

I retire in December and have made plans to live off what I get from SS at 62 yrs. Own the home, cars, no debt at all. Money stashed and have a very healthy 401 that I don’t need to draw on yet. They can use somebody else’s tax money. Mine no more.
