Offensive? I'll say it's offensive.I could tell you stories about the members of the "leisure class" (I *love* that term) that I met during my 20 year career at a large,big city hospital.A quick story from that hospital..a young woman,leisure class,several kids,no husband,medicaid card.She was in to have surgery to "tighten" her private area.Seems that after a couple of kids it needed it...according to the new boyfriend who insisted that this surgery be done so that he might "enjoy" himself more during his intimate moments with this breeding cow.The surgeon wrote that he advised the woman that the surgery was unnecessary but that she insisted on it because the *boyfriend* insisted on it.She had the surgery...courtesy of the taxpayers of Massachusetts and the United States.I *saw* this with my own eyes.And I saw lots,and lots,and lots,and *lots* of equally nauseating things connected to the "leisure class".
The fact is, there are a wide variety of people using the program, some more legitimately than others.
Very true.Some,IMO,truly need and deserve assistance and,therefore,I'd never support the elimination of certain "welfare" programs.But I will,until the day I die,demand that at least half of those in this country receiving this $$$ be cut off completely....the half that have,with the encouragement and assistance of the modern Rat Party,chosen welfare as their career.
Please explain how anyone “deserves” to receive money taken by force from another. I assume you would balance your ledger by saying that I “deserve” to have my money taken.
To each according to his needs and from each according to his abilities, eh comrade?
