They will hem and haw about the multiple nightmare positions the cons take, but they will say this every single god damn time:

"People on welfare or unemployment are lazy, they are gaming the system and I am tired of my tax dollars supporting them"

They might as well be saying "Martians have invaded my backyard and are growing tomatoes, and I am sick of paying my tax dollars to NASA for building rockets"
