I work for a place that does all of the healthcare claims and payments for our state's insurance. So, I get to see all these people who don't want to work, would rather sit around playing games & smoke pot all day than lift a finger, get free healthcare, 100% paid for by my taxes. Yes, I know some people legitimately need assistance, but most of our members don't.

God, if it weren't for needing to be here for my kids, I'd be out of this country so fast.
