If Obama wins, I'm quitting my job

[FR7 Baptist]

Not what I asked. I asked a pretty plain question. I may have opined a bit, But is is a simple question.

Welfare queens are not real Americans.

 

[plain_n_simple]

God warns us not to complain

My thoughts exactly! If LE wants to become a welfare queen, that means less competition for hard-working real Americans like me.

And the lesser competition would cause less productive output, causing prices to rise.
Also, if less competition caused your salary to be marginally higher, you would be in the crosshairs of the leftist elites in government who would demonize you for being greedy and milk you for all you are worth to pay for the increasing welfare burden.

It would not be a win for you.

You had better beg and plead LadyEagle to stay in the workforce.

Welfare queens are not real Americans.

Then, don't support policies that subsidize Not-Americans.

My job adds value to the economy.

Sounds rather conservative to me! If your job produces goods and/or services to make things cheaper, then yes.

LE becoming a welfare queen doesn't add nearly as much.

Going on welfare adds ZERO to the economy. Any maintenance or expense properly goes on the Liabilities side of the balance sheet.

It is work which built this country.

True, if you mean productive work. If someone's work produces a useless mudpie, or someone is paid to dig a hole and another is paid to fill it in, then the labor becomes a waste of resources and a liability.

Smart work that results in increasing the standard of living by utilizing scarce resources to increase the supply of useful goods and services is what built this country.

We just need to transition to social democracy so we can arrange for a better life for real America. Of course, we should help those who are truly unable to work or find work.

No, we need to restore pure, unadulterated free market capitalism where no one gets bailed out, no one can get government favors, and no one is punished for reaping the fruits of labor and risk-taking.

We do not need a mob-ocracy where the minority can get raped and pillaged by the majority.
We don't need 50%+1 of the population constantly adding to the legal code to plunder the 50%-1.
We don't need a system where, if you have a unique opinion, you can be suppressed every time.

We need a system that recognizes individual rights that come from our Creator that can never be taken away by law, regardless if a king, oligarchy, or democracy wants to benefit themselves at the expense of the rest.

Ah....a nugget of gold.

I believe that was the original intent of the Founding Fathers.

LE, let me be the first to congratulate you on your soon to be retirement from the workforce. :wavey:

 

[Bro. Curtis]

Welfare queens are not real Americans.

The neither are their bum husbands.

If Obama wins, it will be time to call in the work chips. Frankly, I am tired of working all of my life just to pay higher and higher taxes for other people to live on my dole who are too lazy to work........

Alright, but if that's how you see it, why didn't you quit after 2008?

Sounds like somebody has a copy of:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/0465022529/?tag=baptis04-20

Or, at least something very similar
EVERYONE should read this book...

 

[LadyEagle]

Alright, but if that's how you see it, why didn't you quit after 2008?

Because obama didn't have a record as POTUS and obamacare wasn't law, for starters. And there weren't 46 million Americans on food stamps. And he hadn't added more to the national debt in 3-1/2 years than all the other presidents combined in the history of our nation....
