you really think she needs a 42 inch flat screen TV?

or does she want a 42 inch flat screen TV.

Why not pay for a college course Part time to help her get more skills so she can get off of welfare.

How does a TV help her situation, oh she can watch TV in comfort , righhhtttt.

priorities folks.


What say we slip that shoe on the other foot?

Why don't you let me prioritize YOUR life? Send me all your financial data, and I'll set up an allowance for you, and tell you what you can have in your home.

For that matter, you might as well let me pick your mate, and decide what job you work at too. I also think that house is just a little bit too ostentatious for you. I'll locate a nice mobile home for you.

See how karma works?

p.s. MY graduation gift, was my dad's old used Piper Cherokee two-seater airplane.

What a shame I didn't get something "sensible". Like shoes or a hat.

Are you saying that you believe people who are on welfare deserve the same luxuries as people who are working?

I don't think anybody cares how someone else spends their momey, as long as they are supporting themselves.

It's like the story about the grasshopper and the ants.

Absolutely AWESOME analogy!

Except that the issue here is, all the ants are pitching a fit, and crying, because the grasshopper has family that loves him. It's not enough for the ants to get their goodies, they want to b@tch about what the grasshopper gets.

What part of its none of the ant's business what the grasshopper gets, or where it comes from, is confusing to you?

Stop playing Gladys Kravitz.

Do you really have nothing better to do with your time, then wonder what your neighbors get?

Before I left home, my Christmas gift was a $1400 pair of diamond earrings. It wasn't sensible because I wasn't in need of help. That's the point.

The ants just wanted the grasshopper to get off his *** and stop coming to then for help. :disappointed:

One of the things I love about America , Canada and other first world nations

that there are enough people out there who want to work, own businesses, invest because we believe in individuality and not the collectivism crap of living off our neighbour.

Where is there self worth?

I may welcome you as my neighbour but I dont expect you to be living off of me and the neighbours

one of the things I love about AMerica and Canada is that there are enough people who CARE enough about their neighbor not to micromanage their lives or to expect them to live like paupers whenever they hit a rough patch ..

and despite this thread, all 'taxpayers' dont look down their nose so judgmentally on people who have hit hard times as their personal property that they can micromanage becuase their 'taxes' are helping them through a rough patch.

There is an imbalance now where welfare recipients feel entitled to the same things as the working class. I support Trump because he is putting more $$ back into the working class pockets.

I know there are many 'working class' who become in need of welfare and feel they are not any less 'entitled' than other working class because of temporary status.

No, the point is I DON'T CARE!

Between two daughters, three grandchildren, a senior citizen dog, and trying to run a marginally profitable IT firm, I have more than enough going on in my life to keep me very busy.

Posting in the forums is my "decompression time".

I seriously have absolutely no time to wonder or care about the labels in your closet, or the toys in your living room.

In other words, I have a life.

Well, when I became unemployed I wasn't thinking about vacation, salon, and shopping. My thoughts were cutting the budget and looking for work. Just because someone loses their job, it doesn't mean they go on welfare. In reality, stable people who lose their job don't qualify for welfare.

The "toys" are in my shop. You clearly care just have an opinion that you can't support with common sense.

You're seriously starting to sound like the little girl that's crying because all she had was a clown at her birthday party, while the little girl across the street (that she can't stand) had a pony.

Why is it so hard for you to just be grateful for what you have? Regardless of how you got it?

Would it be any different, if someone said: "You married into that. Basically, you got all your toys on your back."?

what a silly analogy Viper, yes suppose we slip the shoe on the other foot.

Hmmmm what exactly are you going prioritize for me Viper? I have my own house that is paid for.

Have two credit cards with zero balance one Visa and one American Express.

I have no loans nor do I owe money to the Income Tax department in my country.

I have assets later on that I can liquidate when the times comes that I actually want to retire so what is it that you can help me with?

I do want to own rental properties but I dont have the expertise , so are you going to help me with that?

By the way , Im not on welfare either or have ever been and I have a business not a job.

thank you for your concern Viper, I think Ive done fine on my own.

I live in an area where people are not poor or indigent , we dont concern ourselves on what our neighbour have or dont have , I love my neighbourhood

Im concerned when my taxes are used to pay for lazy people who dont need welfare but use and abuse the system.

get it



You do realize that none of that matters right? Once you say it's okay for the government or as the Trump lovers love to say, "Deep State" to determine what you can and cannot do to someone else, you've just given them license to exercise the same power over you.

Viper, you are becoming irrational. It isn't about telling people what they can do with their welfare $$. It's about undoing bad welfare programs. It's about not giving people who sit on their *** enough $$ to go on a cruise. If they want it they can get off their *** and work for it. Trump has already put our country in the right direction.

now you're making sh-it up, nobody and I mean nobody has ever said they look down on those who have hit hard times.

You might have a little more credibility, if you acknowledged that not a single penny of "welfare money" went to my daughter and grandson's TV, nor their Blu-ray player, nor their cable access, nor their Internet.

Not a single penny of "government money" covered any of that.

You just can't stand the fact that they have it, can you?
