Back in the day people would try and stay off “the dole” and even pay the money back when they could, they were embarrassed to not be self sufficient.
Now it’s gimme free money baby whoo! Me included.
During Covid the money just flowed in with no rationale for who got what, I still cashed the check even though I didn’t need it.
When did the change take place?
You may want to google the Hart-Cellar Act.
(((it destroyed America)))
It’s called socialism, you will own nothing and be happy.
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

Certain demographics have been on the dole for 40 years.
For the general public, the minute they bailed out the banks and held no one responsible. It was a free for all after that. People thought whatever they give me, it’s a penny compared to the banks.
LBJ was the spark to the treasury's tinder.
More recently, you can thank GWB, who validated what was to come.
Freeloaders are the base of the democratic party. They vote dem to keep the freebies coming. So dems have a vested interest in keeping them poor and looking for handouts.
POKER FAG ALERT! FOR BLOW JOB SEE SLOPPY JOE THE TRANNIE HO.
Be aware you have just had a granddad moment. It's a right of passage, one which you undoubtably laughed at in the past when hearing it from your elders.Originally Posted by Texter
When the first church was built and the first business incorporated. Look how many people think an invisible sky man is watching them - and he always needs money! Your money! And the government' an tax breaks. Same with business.
I have an employee who paused his loans due to Covid and is now going to get them paid by the government even though he makes good money and lives at home and can easily pay them off.
These days anyone who thinks this kid should pay back his loans is considered the greedy person in this scenario, it really is ridiculous what a grift this country has become.
An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that Obama’s socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.
The professor then said, “OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama’s plan”. All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one will fail and no one will receive an A…. (substituting grades for dollars – something closer to home and more readily understood by all).
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.
The second test average was a D! No one was happy.
When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.
As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.
To their great surprise, ALL FAILED and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.
It could not be any simpler than that.
There are five morals to this story:
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Bumping a 2 year old thread to post a copy and paste fake viral story from over a dozen years ago is peak crazy lady. I think I was in my thirties the first time I read this.
splitthis: Stands the test of time
It was a fake anecdote then. This thing is so old you might have been fuckable still when it came out for some really hard-up guy.
