re: #401 Gus

My favorite is how they accuse everyone they disagree with by saying “you’re on welfare!!!” Or any other government assistance. Other than collecting UI once back when I was 23 (about 2 months worth) I’ve never been on any government entitlement program — neither federal or state.

Well, I have to take slight issue with how you present this. That is: I don’t care if someone is on or has been on any form of government assistance. For starters, everyone gets government assistance, whether they realize/acknowledge it or not, in the form of everything the government does for us. Second, if you need more because things just haven’t worked out well for you? Uh, OK? I see no problem with that. I’m not going to judge people for things mostly or totally out of their control.
