re: #378 Walter L. Newton

I told you I do. What have I been saying all down this thread. I say it hurts, it’s against everything I stand for, but yes, I want it, I’ll take it, I’ll take as much as I can…

What’s wrong with that?

Nothing …

For a matter of fact, if I wind up need it, and I can wrangle even penny I can from the public dole, I’m going to feel absolutely proud of myself.

… except for the shifting narrative. Either “it hurts” or you’re “going to feel absolutely proud of [yourself]” both cannot simultaneously be true unless you’re basing both arguments entirely on situational expediency.

In other words, all you seem to be arguing is that taking the money will hurt less once it’s taken. Which is almost definitely true. Take it, it’s your birthright as a citizen.
