It's funny to see people bring liberal this or that into an argument yet one of the biggest things so called conservatives are against is using tax dollars for social services. Yet, you see nothing at all wrong with companies whom subsidize their payroll at the expense of the tax payers by abusing the very social services they clam to hate..

Very odd bunch the "conservatives" are.. One thing they aren't, is consistent..
