<DIV><BR></DIV>I have always supported taking care of the mentally ill, the
handicapped and our veterans. I do not thing we do enough for the
veterans. Anyone can be unemployed for a short period of time. I have
been there too. I fully support Workmen's Compensation and short term welfare
assistance. I also donate to private charities that work in these areas. What
I object to is the long term payouts to the unemployed. Some where there needs
to an end to it. There are jobs available if one is willing to work. It may
not be the best job or pay much, but any job is better that no job. It you get
paid $8.00/hr. that is $320.00/wk. That will pay a few bills. I have done that
and it is better than nothing.<BR>Roger<BR>-----Original message-----<BR>From:

are precisely why the intelligent among us refuse to "trust" that local
charity, as advocated by the Unthinking Right, tea baggers, and some so-called
Christians is sufficient, and we demand instead a safety net not dependent on
the generosity of people like you for the least amongst us.<BR>> <BR>>
Because more likely than not, that "homeless" guy is a war veteran with
invisible injuries. Or has a heart or other physical condition that
makes it impossible for him to do physical labor without the medical care he
needs but doesn't have access to because he manages to make $3000 a year
in Idaho, which makes him ineligible for Medicaid. Or he suffers from
clinical depression or some other mental illness worsened by morons who refuse
to hire him for jobs he can do because he's "mental" and who think that he
should pull himself up by his bootstraps which is impossible to do when
barefoot. Or he's 75 years old & homeless because his pension plan
was raided by greedy people -- like those on the Unthinking Right -- who care
only about feathering their own nests rather than having character, which is
epidemic in this country now. Or a thousand other scenarios which the
Unthinking Right never thinks about yet finds appropriate to make the butts of
moronic jokes like this.<BR>> <BR>> Funny, huh, how what you thought was
a joke speaks a lot more about those who relish retelling it -- that would be
you, Roger -- than it does about political parties or disadvantaged
individuals because fortunately for this nation, not ALL Republicans belong to
the Unthinking Right.<BR>> <BR>> Thanks, though, for yet another example
I can use when presented with "Trust us . . . we'll take care of the needy in
our community, so it's safe to gut government social services to get rid of
all that waste."<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> -----Original Message-----<BR>>
