THEY JUST EXTENDED UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS?!?!

The media tells us we're in a recession, possibly heading towards a depression.

I dispute this. I think we are at a crossroads. A crossroads where two different agendas are colliding.

Agenda A consists of hard working Americans who pay taxes, who work because that's what they were taught to do by their family and their nation, who are generally happy and fulfilled in their lives.

Agenda B consists of people who don't work, but not because they can't find a job. It's because they just don't want to work. They find it easier to claim unemployment. They find it easier to file for Medicaid. They find it easier to avoid minimum wage job offers. Government handouts are a dime a dozen these days, and these are the people who capitalize and work the fetid system.

The main issue in America is that we used to fully support Agenda A. People often refer to these times as "the good ole days". But not anymore. Americans now are growing up on these principles of laziness and entitlement. The worst part of all? These principles are now government funded though socialist policies. The government will support you if you are lazy, or poor, or feel entitled to "free money".

This money isn't free, though. Agenda A has to front the bill. Many people get this whole situation wrong and blame the rich people for trying to evade taxes. Quit being dumbasses, people. All of our money goes to the same place, and supports the same thing: laziness and mediocrity.

I am not a millionaire, nor do I even claim to have that goal. But I know one thing. If I made millions of dollars a year, because I worked to get to that point in society, why the fuck should I pay 30% or more of my income to support lazy people? I actually sympathize with the rich in this country.

Americans: You are NOT entitled to "the American Dream". You are NOT entitled to a typical American "standard of living", regardless of whether you have a job or not.

You are entitled to an equal opportunity of employment so that one day, if you work hard, you will have these things that we Americans covet.

I'll summarize. "If you were laid off in the past two years it is because you're lazy and stupid. You want to be unemployed so you spend your days drinking champagne and eating lobster. Go die you ass because you are part of my deluded world view."

Working in IT for all my adult life I have been through enough down turns and restructurings to know the the mythical laid off person who wants to be unemployed is a F******g lie made up by selfish uncaring assholes. Unemployment is not enough to feed a family but it is enough to pay for the cost of finding a job.

I have a friend who was out for two years. He did not drive WAMU into bankruptcy or let it get bought out by Chase. He just happened to be on the receiving end of that cluster fuck. The unemployment in his area is higher than average so he retained during that time to be more marketable. The vast majority of people I know who have been out of work fit into this bucket and none of them fit into your type B.

I'd much rather give my 30% to the unemployed rather than the fat fucks on Obamacare.

You must be one of those clueless college kids that think they know shit when in reality you don't know a damn thing. I WAS the same way when I was in school.

I am in college, after I served for four years.

I could have went to school for free, considering I come from a dirt poor family. Instead I chose to work for what I have.

I'm 23, have a 4.0 in Computer Science at UNCW, have plans on going to grad school, and worked my ass off in the Marine Corps, serving twice in places you only see in movies like "Blackhawk Down", to get to where I am today.

I exemplify Agenda A. Start with absolutely fucking nothing, and make something of it.

If you people disagree with what I have to say, which I'm assuming most of you are Agenda B, you are fucking dense. You have no concept of money and how these decisions on social welfare programs now are affecting our future policies. Fucking morons like you have ruined this country.

Hey haters!! Here you go...

Having served in the military does not make your point valid.

With a CS degree get used to the phrase "redundant function".

I never said that serving in the military made my point valid. I was simply exemplifying that I had the choice to take the easy route, to get free money for college; but I chose to work for everything I have. That is the American spirit. Most people today choose welfare.

I know that people get laid off, and there are periods of transition. I estimate probably 80% of Agenda A are employed, while the other 20% are unemployed through no fault of their own, and are transitioning.

OBVIOUSLY I'm not fucking ragging on these people, dumbass. You missed my point ENTIRELY. The point is, there are MILLIONS of people out there who are cheating the system of unemployment, medicaid and other social welfare programs. Remember that ACORN scandal not too long ago? That shit wasn't a fluke or some isolated incident. People are operating under those principles daily.

Most of you tards have no clue how easy it is to claim this stuff and get away with it. My girlfriend has to deal with Medicaid patients all day, who by LAW have to be given NAME BRAND EXPENSIVE drugs, but they come in and bitch about a 3 dollar co-pay, while swinging their freshly manacured 9 inch pink nails all in the face of hard working people.

STOP MAKING EXCUSES FOR PEOPLE.
