How ugly do YOU find the Republican claims that jobless benefits are a kind of addiction?

They keep acting like people are somehow HOOKED on social assistance.

Which is weird, since I've never heard of anybody getting a buzz off of social assistance.

Perhaps because they're hooked on the money flow from their corporate masters, and their masters are hooked on tax cuts.

"Margaret Thatcher naked on a cold day....Margaret Thatcher naked on a cold day..."
(Austin was, for some reason, posing nude with a group of fashion models in a photo shoot).
(Felicity Shagwell could have done the same chant but used "J. Edgar Hoover" instead of the Iron Lady).

at least there aren't tons of them just sitting open. They THINK everybody could go to work making minimum wage, with no benefits,and that's what they want. They want the majority of people to get into a poverty state where they have no rights, no future, no hope. Because these f-ers think that is what people like us deserve. Because we aren't "blessed". Because we are not them. Because they want to make sure there is enough of a difference between us and them that they can be assured of their supremacy forever.
