16. They don't actually think that means them...

They really are disconnected about "their situation" and the lies the GOP tell about all those "other" people, i.e., black people, getting some perceived "extras" or stealing from the system... They say their tax money, even when they are living off of the Govt in the form of disability and SNAP and heat/ air assistance, etc.

They really do disconnect their situation with that of the rest of America. They are a special case. They really do qualify the help. In the meantime, their own safety nets are being slashed to hell, their kid's educational needs (which would help the next generation in their family to climb out of poverty), are being taught creationism views and that dinosaurs roamed the earth with humans. They just don't have enough education and the ability to see the "big picture".

And then, even worse, they listen to their Pastors in their churches preach that Pres Obama is Satan Incarnate and that he's a secret Muslim trying to destroy "their America" from within. And they listen to the likes of Rush and Fox Noise with their lies and fake outrage. And God forbid, they are going to have their guns taken away, and if they refuse, they will be put in those secret govt concentration camps.

And you can tell they are extremely upset that a black man, with a terrorist name, and his wife and 2 kids are "living it up" I'm the White House, they take nice vacations, they have nice things, and it's killing them because this black family has risen above their status in life. Their ability to be able to look down on the "other's" as has always happened is just making them crazy!

At some point, it would be nice if they quit being jealous and thinking they deserve to be better off than anyone else, and decide to work together with the "other" and decide the wealthy need to be paying back into the system and that everyone who works, should receive a wage that allows one to live and not have to subsidize their existence with govt's help.
