Political Rant

Overheard in the Tavern on the Corner

*

“They got government aid when they were down, ok?  Okay, that’s ok, that’s what it’s for.  But now – now, they’re used to it.  They depend on it.  They feel they’re entitled to it!

 

“They’d rather – as you might say – get fat, like sitting around, with their hand out!

 

“Taking our government money, that we pay in… for public security, for investment in our economy, to protect our way of life with health and education and all that …

 

“Taking it, instead of getting to work like normal people, getting to work, doing what they need to do to take care of themselves…

 

“Instead of being dependent on others, on our tax money!

 

“And I tell you one thing: I’m fed up with those government subsidies of big, rich business corporations!”
