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]EEO
(1,620 posts)55. Most red states take in more money from the federal government than they pay in...
And I don't expect some asshole like Boehner to understand the hardships of people who don't get funded by the rich who taint our political system. I am in and out of regular employment due to health issues, and this asshole would end programs designed to help people like me out (and his unfortunate constituents) because he does not give a shit what trickle down economics does to anyone but the rich. Trickle down economics was debunked decades ago... leave it to poor, ignorant Republicans to support a party that calls the people making all the money "job creators" and blaming "big government" and regulation for not having a job or a well paying job.
