What a complete maroon.

Yes, Mr. Cummings, for me government is right up there with the sacraments of Penance and the Eucharist.

No, they offer their souls in return for a spot on their master’s plantation.

They come to government to suck the wallets of average, working, taxpaying citizens dry. Racist, fascist bastards.

“People ‘Come to Government To Feed Their Souls”

Don’t know what that means and don’t want to know but it does show how beholden black politicians ( and a lot of blacks in general) are to the gubmint.

not going to make the kind of money they would make in the private sector

So maybe he could explain why Congress-critters net wealth goes up so much after they have been in office for a few years?

They don’t get paid less, they get paid more,

and produce NOTHING but impediments to others’ success.

Their souls must be getting very fat, gobbling taxpayer dollars from the federal trough at twice the pay of comparable private sector jobs. Cummings, the Clown, must think D. C. is a monastery instead of a bordello.

Riiiiiight. People come to a soulless, faceless bureaucracy seeking spiritual renewal.

And I buy Playboy for the articles.

Yo, Elijah, and others of us come to feed the beast of government the fruits of our labor so clowns like you can distribute it to the lazy takers.

Hmmm??? To “Pharisee” Cummmings and many (misnamed) “progressives”... government IS god (and a jealous one for sure). Such explains their hatred for the “competition” (aka: real God of the Bible)... and their perverted twist on Exodus 20:3 - “Thou shalt have no other gods before me” and Romans 14:11 - “Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess”... only government shall be worshiped!

Elijah needs to read this (linked) article.....

A 2012 Congressional Budget Office report shows that overall compensation for federal workers is 16% higher than for private sector workers, with private sector workers with bachelor’s degrees making $7.50 less per hour on average.


Looks like federal workers are having more than just their “souls” fed :-/
