I on the other hand I'm not a crook, I've held a security clearance for a couple years now. I'm a good guy. When I was out of work for over a year (and not receiving public assistance either) I still volunteered, mostly just as a chance to meet more people and network for opportunities - not that it didn't feel good to spend time helping total strangers for free from starving to death. So don't you dare compare me to a criminal, a scumbag, or someone entitled to your money (not at this point in my life at least)
She's a total thief, got convicted and everything. flaggercat has her whole record and a copy of her mugshot. Apparently she had a big meth problem, used to shoplift from walmart and steal out of parked cars to support her habit.

I'm not calling you a scumbag, but unless you have prescriptions for those hundreds of pills you take you're certainly a criminal. So you volunteer, fine, that's great, I do too on occasion. There's a big difference between volunteering or donating vs having the government take your money from you under threat of jail to "help the less fortunate". Most importantly, once your money is in their coffers you have no control over how it's spent. Universal healthcare would be bad enough, but you have to be pretty naive to think they're not going to take the cash earmarked for that and spend it on some other bullshit. The only way we're going to regain control over spending in washington is to start chipping away at their money supply, that means less taxes and federal programs, not more.
