In reply to the discussion: John Boehner: Unemployed Americans Are A Bunch Of Lazy Moochers Who Don't Think They Have To Work [View all]davidthegnome
(2,983 posts)I think Mr. Boehner should carefully examine that (bullshit) theory. First of all, how much does he think a single unemployed person can get through government benefits? I can tell you, it's not a whole hell of a lot. It's not as much as it should be, either, for people who are desperate and need help. He did it all? Well, he's not doing it now. How hard does he actually "work" for that salary he earns? What is it, two hundred thousand? How many days a year is he actually working? Does it even amount to 40 hours a week?
Rich man makes ridiculous amounts of money for not doing very much... while a poor person receiving state or federal assistance is filling out several applications every week, eventually working for minimum wage, attempting to earn a higher education and being crushed by debt... hmm. Perhaps even being forced to file bankruptcy due to medical debt.
You know what, I think I'd rather sit around. I think I'd rather have Boehner's job than mine, my 32 hours a week at 8.50 an hour keeps me moving all weekend, on my feet, running my ass off to earn that money. I'd happily do HIS job for MY pay and he can do my job for his. We'll see who's more exhausted at the end of the week. Fucking prick.
I don't give a shit what you did, Mr. Boehner. I don't care if you once swept a floor or actually know how to use a mop. What I care about, is that you're a rich, pretentious nitwit with a sense of entitlement. That you seem to think that doing a piss poor job in a really important position somehow gives you the credibility to mock and insult people who are desperately looking for any kind of job at all.
No credibility, no honor, no tact, no common sense, no humility. I don't think Mr. Boehner realizes just how dramatically he fails as a human being.
