Re: Entitlement vs Self Responsibility
It takes tax dollars to do that.
No, but it does take someone who knows what the hell they are talking about.
I don't know how to say this, but since you force the issue, YES I DO have an advanced degree in finance, accounting, AND economics......plus I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night too. If you would like a copy of my Curriculum Vitae, send me a personal message.
Bwahahaha. snicker, snicker, snicker.
I didn't say that, you did! You have a future FM, another speech writing spin doctor for the McShame campaign!
Speak all you want FM. I love seeing you put your foot in your mouth! But hey, it happens to the best of us!
Okay, fair enough, just send me a PM.......I'm not going to hold my breath because you don't know of any person. It is a figment of your imagination.
Well then why don't you enlighten all of us with your detailed research on welfare abuse with the sources to back it up.
More spinning. Are you related to Bull O'Really?
Fine, report your friend with the Escalade to your social services department.
No, I only like to pick on you because you are so, so, SNL material.
The world doesn't revolve around me? Dang, I don't know how to break this to my DLW!
OOOOOPS! You drive an Escalade?

Oh, so one needs to hold a degree in the field in order to hold an opinion on an obvious problem. I see.
So I trust that when you were spouting off and opposing any kind of govt. bailout for the meltdown on Wall Street, you spoke as someone who held an advanced degree in finance, accounting, or economics, right?
If not, I have a proposition for you. Go back to college and earn of those aforementioned degrees. Then you can speak out as an authority on whether or not the govt. should be engaged in a bailout.
Matapule, this "you need a degree to understand the problem" argument is weak.
If one person starts using it to silence other people on this board, then others can throw that same argument back in your face on other topics. It is an unproductive way to engage in open-minded discussion on a public forum like this.
Facts? You want me to actually name the person on welfare who owns an Escalade? Obviously Matapule, you did not read the HT meta discussions here re: privacy for people who are not considered public figures. So in respecting this board's policy and in that person's privacy, I am not going to break those rules just to humor you.I'll just say this. I am not making it up. (I wish I were, because it bugs the hell out of me whenever I see this person at my job.) This person is on welfare, does not have a job, and owns an '08 Escalade. If you don't want to believe, whatevas.
But you're not going to come across as any credible voice on the matter of welfare if you're going to be in denial about the problem of welfare and public assistance abuse and the extent to which it exists.
Using your logic, then law enforcement should only go after the "bigger" thieves first. So should authorities neglect the complaints of older people who have been swindled out of their life savings, because there are other criminals who are still at-large after having stolen far largers sums in corporate embezzlement? Oh brother!
Here's what I think: fraud and abuse of govt. assistance should be combated at all levels, no matter how much money is involved in each instance. Each case should be investigated and prosecuted, as they are detected.
And of course, your particular brand of judgement is "good," while everyone else who sees things differently from you have "bad" judgement. Must be nice to live in a world where everybody and everything revolves around you.
