What If?

How did I "slime" anyone? I posted an article. By copying the headline and a link.

As for the comment from Sparrow, I pay for my own education. No grants, etc. when I went to A&P school, I landed a job as the janitor, cleaning th bathrooms and buffing floors after class to pay for my tuition and have a little spending money.

You are barking up the wrong tree.

fair question and I'm personally pleased to hear your answer. Restores my faith in this country that actual EARNERS and PRODUCERS can agree to disagree. I wish nothing but success in your new endeavors.

Personally I decided to accept the EITC and unemployment because frankly I want my money that was in my mind immorally confiscated by the jack booted thugs of the IRS. So for me it was evening the score if you will. Frankly if there was no personal income tax I'd have said no because I would have had enough savings and investments to tide me over.

How noble of you.

Pointing out people's hypocrisy seems to be rather legit.

I think your anger is misdirected. Maybe you need to hurl a personal attack at the author for writing a thought-provoking and in-depth article on the state of the middle-class (or what used to be).

There is nothing wrong with taking what you have earned when times are tough. That is what those programs are for. I have never had to go on unemployment or get federal or state subsidies. I did try and collect unemployment when I went on stike at NWA, but was denied by the state of Texas.

Some of my family members have had to use aid, and one still does. He lost his butt and I didn't make an issue of that. I supported him and still do until he can get back on his feet following a devastating injury. He is/was on of the most anti government people you would ever meet. He would now be homeless without the help he has received (or he would have had to move he and his family across the country and in with me).

I sincerely hope you don't have make that choice.

Correction: I do receive an agricultural exemption (timber) on my property taxes here in Texas as well as a homestead exemption on the portion that my house sits on. So I do take some form of aid. There may be more aid that I get when I do my taxes that turbotax automatically deducts based on my information.

This right wing radical needs strung up and taught a lesson.

Thanks for the disclosure, don't want to violate the Heebus Jeebus clause for your Doctorial Thesis.
