Reply #61: Appeal to the selfishness of Republicans [View All]

I say things like

"sure, it is morally wrong for someone to get something for nothing, but when that person decides they are tired of having nothing and see that all avenues to getting something are being blocked, they will come in my house and TAKE MY shit! So, if I have to have a little of my pay go to keep that person from becoming desparate enough to take my shit, then I just look at it as the cost of living in a society that doesn't have hordes of desparate people taking other people's shit, sort of like buying insurance or installing a security system, except nicer"

Besides, it's not "Shaniqwa's" kids' fault that Shaniqwa is a lazy loser, so why should they be punished? (they always seem to claim that they can't get ahead because their taxes are high to support this fictional Shaniqwa person)

The funny thing is, they don't seem to mind their tax money supporting Halliburton and ADM.

I guess because the people running them aren't named Shaniqwa.
