[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Three fun facts:

There is not future in an America that is artificially "engineered" at every turn.

There's no point in working if everything is handed to you for free by someone else.

Every fortune cookie contains a fortune.[/quote]

Fortune cookies don’t contain fortunes.  They contain sayings or advice.

I’m going to go on the dole if I can get healthcare handed to me.  Why should I work and take home nothing after bills?  I can NOT work and not take home anything.  [/quote]

Agreed.  Poverty is great!  Highly recommended![/quote]
[b]
Wealth just buys a better address. [/b] The things I value - spending time with my family - have no cost but work costs me time.  Time is worth more than money.  I don’t want to spend all my time working, and I don’t need things anymore.  I thought you guys hated wealth.  I’d be poor in money but rich in the things that matter to me.[/quote]

Tell that to hungry children who will get nothing this holiday, or people who can't afford health care for their chronic and serious illnesses.[/quote]

When is the last time you heard of a child dying of starvation in this country (not due to abuse)? If the liberals get their way with universal healthcare, I’m done contributing my work. Why work? I work for healthcare now, and take home nothing after payments. I don’t need the stress of working. 
[/quote]

Such a bullshit post.  You take home nothing after paying healthcare?  Who pays for your food, your mortgage, your electric bill, your internet?

Living in poverty, even with the supports we provide, is not a pleasant lifestyle.  But you're welcome to quit your job and try it.  I'm sure someone else would be more than happy to take your job and life of privilege if you leave your job.[/quote]

Do you think I’m the only person in the US weighing the cost-benefit of working vs. public assistance?  I guarantee there are millions weighing this decision this year.  Eh - working brings me $xxxx, but not working gets me subsidized rent, healthcare, utilities, plus no hassle of work.  I know a few people who call themselves “retired” under this formula.  Why work?  I’m not needy, I don’t care about material stuff or things, It doesn’t scare me to go without and it’s not the worst thing in the world. I raised my kids, and the things I like are free - library, spending time with grandkids, walking.  I’m in the 50+ sweet spot where health insurance costs a fortune.  Once it becomes universal I’m done with working.  Probably 20% of the workforce today feels the same way.  More free stuff will certainly free up jobs.  [/quote]
