Is 300 dollars going to make or break anyone in that class? Most households that earn 150k+ would deposit that check and never think about it again. ---

Yeah, I’m selfish because I don’t want the government taking MY momey and giving it to someone WHO DOES NOT EVEN CONTRIBUTE A PENNY TO TAXES. You’re so fucking liberal it’s incredible. That is why you think that a person shouldn’t decide what is best, he needs the government to decide for him. FUCK THAT AND FUCK YOU! I have said it many times before, give me my money back and I will spend it on hard working Americans! People like you are the down fall of this great nation. You should be ashamed you fucking socialist mother fucker. This country certainly wasn’t built by people that think like you, I promise. ---

wow, awdrifter went from flawed views, but could at least form a coherent argument, to neo-con shit-throwing monkey. “fuck that and fuck you, you fucking socialist mother fucker.” you would think you were 20 years younger than me, instead of 20 years older. ---

That was in response to being called “so selfish it’s fucking incredible”. Anyone that knows me can tell you that would not be my typical response but, I am sick of Joe always saying things like “fucktard”, etc. I have done more for people in need (WITHOUT GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION) in one year than Joe has probably done his whole life. I am done defending myself. I don’t believe that some people should work their ass off and be financially responsible then the government should decide who gets the money for that work. This is no secret, anyone that knows me probably knows this about me so like I said I am done.
