BUT, you weren't saying that earlier...Earlier you were playing the 'woo is me, all I get is crumbs' when the fact is that there are millions of Americans not even getting the crumbs you're complaining about receiving...You want more and spit on what you do get...While there's Americans not getting one bit of the help they need.
Homeless people, elderly trying to decide whether to have meds or food/heat, children who's only meal of the day is through free breakfast/lunch programs and not one bit of health coverage...
THOSE are the people who needs the help and they wouldn't be saying 'only crumbs' cause they'd be grateful for just a little bit of what you do have.
I'd love to see ALL Americans taken care of before sending relief/food/medicine to foreign countries first.
While you're sitting back and more then likely will be a benefactor of the the tax relief package that will come out...We've got elderly people only living on SS, who will be exempt from the current package in Congress...And to add further humiliation to that omittance is that illegals who aren't tax payers or citizens, actually DO qualify for that relief package?
Why you're sitting there playing the 'woe is me, I deserve more' card, I'm going to have to watch my mother go without that rebate check more then likely why some illegal gets it instead...
Talk about unfair and not taking care of one's own? Now that's truely being penalized and discriminated against. |

I am saying the government doesn't give a shit about the poor and people in need. They don't even give a shit about our disabled veterans that are homeless. |

Unless they got out and committed a felony.

Although a meal is always better, crumbs do stave off hunger and allow you another day to live. But living with nothing brings one another day closer to the grave. |

I get crumbs compared to the asshole politicians and our shadow government that live off the tax payers.
Even the asshole employees that work here at the public housing are making a good living and all drive new SUV trucks and own homes. |
