It's reversible.

I commend you for your productivity. It's too bad that government feels that no good deed should go unpunished.

What a nice (and unpleasant) summation. I am not sure whether to say "Blechch." in empathy or "Yay" to congratulate you on your concision.

Surgery is a cheaper option.

Ovomit voter alert!

Plus another.

And in a few years she can start another McDonald's riot because someone didn't give her exactly what the thinks she wants.

Freeloading, mooching loser.

You have more of this than say someone like Star Parker. She was on "benefits" but got off them and got a job and is famous in some circles. Star is more the exception to the rule. It is a sad state of our welfare system when this is what we get for all the taxes that we pay. Like some one else stated about paying the equivalent of an Audi A3, I am in the same boat and am fed up with all that theft being wasted on good for nothings. There are some who are not, but the system is broken and needs to be reformed or better yet, done away with. New Mexico is trying to institute a work requirement for benefits. They gave up the government waiver and are being sued by some liberal groups and benefit absconders to fight it.

It seems there is only one way that we're going to get our legislators to change the law and put a stop to all the abuses. The solution would be for all of us to go on welfare and totally break the system, which would amount to breaking the government. We've got to start hiring representatives that initiate and vote as we would. It isn't going to happen, at least not in my lifetime.. Do they still make license plates in prisons? Prisons too have become a welfare system, free room and board, food, clothing, etc. I wonder if they get cell phones!!!

Don't you mean name of the 'fathers'?
Prisoners cost more than they produce, but that's another issue.

"The man in Seat 5, Car No. 7, was a worker who believe he had 'a right' to a job, whether his employer wanted him or not..."

This is worse. This person believes she has "a right" to sustenance, whether the taxpayers wish to provide it or not.

Years ago I saw an interview with a woman much like this one. When she was asked why she didn't try and lift herself out of poverty by getting an education or learning a trade, her answer was a question: "Since I can get something for doing nothing, why should I do anything?"

Until that mentality changes, nothing else will change. And I see nothing that will force that mentality to change.

Shameless, too.

The simplest solution is to not give it to them at all.

guh.. I pay out the equivalent of an Audi A3 in taxes every year. So that we can bomb places I don't give a crap about, build bridges to nowhere, and put tattoos on on a looser.. When I quit providing the feds with the equivalent of an Audi A3 every year, they will need to ask themselves why.. Granted, they will never do that, they will just assume that another sucker will come along and allow themselves to be drained of productivity to make up for the fools who don't feel the need to take part.

Shut the effing spigot OFF! (It costs hundreds to get that done to your hair, she's got a manicure and a cell phone...tats aren't free either.) 780.00 in stamps?? This country has lost it's ever lovin' mind!
