necessities: food, clothing, shelter, health care, job training.

if what you want is not on that list and you're crying because you dont have it, FUCK YOU. if the government wants to tax me to ensure EVERYONE has access to those necessities, fine. tax as much as it takes. but when you take my money and give it to people who waste it on luxuries, i have a problem. what percentage of the so called poor have cellphone, televisions, and dine out often? this is a major reason why people hate democrats. the harder they work to acquire what they want, the bigger piece the democrats want to take to give to those without. this is the democrats mantra. give more of what you have to help those less fortunate; giving them a chance to get where you are. who cares if you did it on your own, these people cant but deserve it anyways.

i also find it amusing how things that didnt exist 70 years ago are now considered by many americans to be necessities and arent even considered for the chopping block when times get tough. fuck people and their poor planning. i dont want them to starve but when they take a risk and eat shit, it shouldnt be my responsibility to make it all better.
