(1,451 posts)they just don't get it. But when I see them getting it, whatever it is,I just connect it to the Government. They start a new business I ask did they get a loan and if it was a Government backed. Got a check for that dough nut hole. Government.Got back insurance check from Affordable Care Act? Government. Did your Job get out-sourced and away went your pensions? Had to rely on Government backed pension or you would be in ruins. Government.Did you modify your mortgage and was able to advert foreclosure???Government,Government. Just got a new road or bridge and it rides so smooth or looks so nice??Government.I no longer argue facts. I just point them out when they are taking advantage of the things that Government does to help ensure that Americans can lead productive lives. And whenever they try and act like Government is not their answer. I always tell them if you don't like what Government gives you, Then give it back and don't accept it. They will never give back anything Government gives them. Try it. When they talk about the Socialist and all these silly terms tell them to give whatever Government socialist thing they are taking advantage of and tell them if you don't like it give it back. Will never happen. Then laugh and say you won't give it back but your side is the one who wants to take it.
