A coworker has a sticker on his car: "Vote Republican: Not Everyone Can Be On Welfare."

[arbusto_baboso]

Know where we both work? Yep, a welfare office.

Okay, not only is his sick little sentiment just plain wrong and thoroughly uncompassionate. But how can he even begin to justify to himself working in a welfare office if he believes that?

What a fuckbucket...

[villager]

1. "Except corporations," he means?

But yes, why isn't he making his Ayn Rand-ian living in the "private sector?"

[arbusto_baboso]

3. It's only a sin to "suck at the public teat" if you're a Democrat, apparently.

Unless, as you so adroitly observe, you are a corporation.

[MindPilot]

15. The inference is of course that liberals do not work.

A stereotype I happen to find REALLY offensive.

[arbusto_baboso]

17. Yes. And he's one of those types who foists all his work on others...

and takes the credit for their efforts. A real douchenozzle.

[glen123098]

2. Well I wouldnt be on welfare if the last republican president...

would have left us with a decent job economy so I could obtain employment.

[proudohioan]

35. Thank you!

Oh, and a belated welcome to DU!
:hi:

[HillGal]

38. Sorry :( and the job outlook has only gotten worse. I need a Hillary 2012 sticker for my car! NT

4. Have someone else contact his supervisor

not you. Don't make it a pissing contest. Have them say they were "driving by" or something to that effect.

If you both work at a "welfare office" then I am assuming you are either local, state or gov. employees. That bumpersticker is inappropriate.

[izquierdista]

18. I don't suppose any DUers would do that...

We have ways of finding out.

[arbusto_baboso]

19. It is, and I'm going to make sure the sup knows, in some way.

[proudohioan]

36. If your county is anything like the one I used to work in....

Our Director of Human Services was extremely concerned about customer service, and our not being offensive to the clients. Maybe you could put in an 'anonymous call' to the director and leave a voice mail stating that you are a client and noticed that whenever you come in, there's a car in the employee lot that has an personally offensive bumper sticker. And give the plate number (where I worked, we had to provide our plate #'s and keep any changes updated).

Hopefully something like that works. I know how annoying it is to have a co-worker in a govt agency that just does not believe that the government should even exist. It's like, OK, but the government is paying YOUR salary, so go find a private sector job, OK?

[arbusto_baboso]

39. Knowing our union (SEIU), they'll probably advocate for this guy's "free speech".

Even though they are silent on such matters when it's lefty speech. So much for "liberal unions", eh?

But yes, the anonymous call seems like a great idea.

[gleaner]

5. I have to agree with your assessment of your co-worker ...

If it ever comes up perhaps you can tell him that if we vote Republican we will all be on welfare. The last bunch of creeping cruds put us right down here under the curb. Maybe he considers the Republicans to be job security. After all a lot of people have lost everything due to them and their anything for a buck policies.

[xultar]

6. What is he driving a fucking drivin a Pinto. That is some old shit.

[DefenseLawyer]

40. It's always amusing to see some jerk driving a bucket

with a bumpersticker complaining about "taxes". You'd be surprised how many overtaxed millionaires apparently drive $400 cars.

[Jakes Progress]

7. Your coworker is an ass.

[lafayettelonewolf]

8. Agreed!

You're not the only one who works with a conservative. I work in a non-profit organization who has a couple of conservatives who wears their ideals on their sleeves. One's a "Christian".

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

9. have someone call or complain, as suggested.

it is obvious he has contempt for the population he is suppose to be serving, and that is just not right. There are plenty of unemployed compassionate people in this economy that would love his/her job.

[southernyankeebelle]

10. H e should be made to take it off at work. He is being paid by taxpayers. Give us a phone number

to call. What kind of car and color.

[Speck Tater]

11. "Vote Democratic. Not everybody can own a giant corporation." nt

[librechik]

12. +100! n/t

[MindPilot]

13. I work for a major DoD contractor

It's funny to hear the rightys around here whine about "government spending".

[arbusto_baboso]

14. Engineer types are some of the worst righties there are.

And they're incredibly stubborn into the bargain.

[charlesg]

29. Engineering curriculum is mostly formulaic thinking

As a whole, engineers tend to be rigid and conservative thinkers, compared to natural scientists for example.

[chill_wind]

16. Wow. I'd like to see his employer unemployee him.

Without benefits. Republicans don't need those.

He doesn't sound like a real good fit for the job.

[SOS]

20. Everyone?

TANF recipients for 2008 were 1.2% of total population.
98.8% of Americans do not receive TANF benefits.

These right-wing imbeciles think 1% = everyone.

http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/ofa/data-reports/caseload/2008/2008_recipient_tan.htm

[raccoon]

24. The right-wing imbeciles believe there are lots more people on welfare than 1.2%

of the total population, especially non-white people.

They just believe that, and never bother to check the statistics.

[SOS]

30. Over the years it has become evident

"Saddam can nuke London in 45 minutes"
"everyone is on welfare"
"death panels"
"environmentalists bombed the Deepwater Horizon"
etc.

Right-wingers have no use for facts.
They are ideologues who will believe any propaganda fed to them.

[Cleita]

21. Yeah, only corporations deserve govt. handouts or corporate welfare.

:sarcasm:

Your co-worker seems to have a clusterfuck for a brain.

[TexasObserver]

22. It wasn't Democrats getting all that bailout money.

[HughMoran]

23. cinder block

from welfare recipient.

[raccoon]

25. A rock through the windshield is what he deserves. nt

[Omar4Dems]

41. No, that's what they're secretly wishing for

So they can run around acting like a victim.

[political_Dem]

26. He's an asshat using the relic of Reaganite taunting: "the welfare queen".

Well, what do you know? That makes him racist too.

Not to mention a Republican tool of RW media.

[Johonny]

27. keep voting Republican and everyone will end up on welfare

[JHB]

28. If Republicans hate Welfare so much...

...why do they enact policies that so generously dole it out to corporations, and put so many people on the rolls?

[krispos42]

31. Republicans: Increasing Welfare Need and Cutting Welfare Dollars Since 1929 n/t

[Kweli4Real]

32. Okay, I'm reaching here, but ...

Do you think his sticker is saying: "If you vote Republican, no one will be on 'welfare' because there won't be any welfare for people?"

[uncle ray]

33. you should make him another one.

IF IT WASN'T FOR WELFARE, I'D BE UNEMPLOYED.

[Lithos]

34. Should be: "Vote Republican - Corporations need more Welfare"

n/t

[Octafish]

37. Welfare for the Rich -- Vote Republican

That's not counting Wall Street's take.
