49. You are a perfect example

of the kind of person that they choose to believe does not really exist. They do not believe that there are people who have been hurt by their policies, they do not believe there are adults who need help. They do not believe they that you cannot find a job. They did, so apparently anyone can. (Actually the fact that these ignorant jerks got elected ruins part of my argument).

They believe they follow some religious tenets. They take care of themselves and the others who pay them, not the regular citizens.

They are WRONG. That does not help you I know. Virtue should be it's own reward, but it does not put food in your belly.

I think if we met, I would like you.
