The Slackers Gaming The System Are The Rich And Not The Poor, The Middle Class Or Workers. [View all]

It is amazing how projection works. I am so sick of all this GOP rhetorical crap about the poor,the middle class and workers gaming the system to get government benefits. The gamers are the rich. They are the ones raping everything.

The fact that so many people buy into that garbage means this country must really be sick or something.
