277. That's what's blowing my mind here

Aug 2015

isn't it the Republicans who are supposed to be:

- chanting "get a job" to a person who gets a job but still can't quite make the rent.

- continually disbelieving a person in poverty and implying they are a "welfare queen".

- pointing out they should apply for a job "delivering pizza" (even though they are already seeking/have a minimum wage job).

- putting dogs before people.

- continually demanding "proof" and "verification" on an apparently ideological basis even after said proof and verification has been given.

- does not take into accounts affects of stress/mental illness. (i.e., "no SSI for feeling depressed and a back ache&quot .

One wonders what such posters are doing on DU. And what right they have calling for *other* people to be banned.
