I was talking to a co-worker today, a work friend of mine about food stamps. I said that I thought the working poor should get food stamps, since many jobs now are minimum wage. She disagreed, but when I said, what is a family supposed to do, let their kids starve? She rolled her eyes and I knew then that she didn't give a shit if they did starve. Now, I knew she was a Chimpy supporter, but I did at least think she had a heart. Then she mentioned that her cousin has the government pay her way thru college and she thinks that wrong, too. I said I think everyone should be able to go to college and that everyone is entitled to health insurance. I gave Europe as an example. She said Yeah, if you want 50% taxes! To this I said, Has anyone thought maybe the Europeans have a better society than us because everyone has health insurance and can go to college? She walked away from me.
So I guess her cousin shouldn't get a chance to better herself? Then these assholes would be the first ones to ridicule them for living on welfare. The only thing I can think of is these bastards have to have someone to look down on, since their self esteem must be at -0-.
I was in shock the rest of the afternoon. I just don't understand people anymore. Is this the way half the citizen of this country think? God help us. But more important God help the poor people. What has happened to people? The evilness of it scares the hell out of me.
