"Work hard. Millions of welfare recipients depend on you."

I saw this on a bumper sticker Sunday. It was on a small car that appeared to be a few years old.

I wanted to throw up. :puke: :puke:

For some people, it's so much easier to hate the powerless than the powerful.

1. The powerless don't fight back.
At least, in a small way. When they do, though, run and hide if you're a bastard. :)

4. I see that sticker several times a week....
Someone who lives near my daughter's school has it on their car so whenever I go pick her up I have to see that.

5. Everybody's a rugged, Libertarian-style "free" market warrior until THEY hit hard times.

Around here, a lot of farmers talk shit like that, which is ironic because they are biggest welfare queens outside of the military.

10. I work in state government and I get it all the time
I'm in South Carolina, in the heart of "Right-To-Workistan" (mad props to the DUer who came up with that name), and I work for the state government agency that deals with anti-discrimination laws. Every day I deal with calls from people who feel they have been terminated unfairly but who aren't covered by the few legal exceptions to the at-will rule. When I tell them that there's nothing we can do for them, I often get the speech about how the government should help them out - usually from the very white working class who shrink from anything "socialist" like Dracula from a crucifix.
