You know you live in a Country run by idiots if...

Hard work and success are rewarded with higher taxes and Government intrusion, while slothful, lazy behavior is rewarded with EBT cards, WIC checks, Medicaid and subsidized housing, and free cell phones.

    True story, about 2 yrs ago I was waiting in line for my prescription (already called in) and the guy in front of me was picking up 3 prescriptions for 3 different kids. Lady at the register asked for a birth date for one of the prescriptions and he said," I don't know the birthday, I have 13 kids, I can't remember all of them." Then handed them his fricken welfare card. Now, at this time, I am paying $18,000.00 per year for my insurance and I had to pay a $ 20.00 co-pay. There was no zen thing in the world to calm me down....

    you do not blurt out anything. you do bite your tongue. you cry into your pillow every night that you've lost your country-actually, it starts like this. you service small businesses. they have lost their shirts, one by one due to regs and bad economy. how do they capitalize? how do they build in the US today? I am awake say 3am daily worrying about the companies dying. passports? who cares?

    Exactly. Then you just tell them, "Bite me". No sense damaging yourself for the sake of cluelessness on the part of, well, clueless people. ;-)

    I don't like my butt being bumped by a cart. today I almost killed someone in line at the bank and would have caused an I.I. (international incident, CQ) someone was monopolyzing the 1 teller with paying bills of some kind. 20 or so individual bills that all needed change counted out and printed receipts. I would have stomped out, but since I have no debit card arrrggghhhh, I had to wait to get a global authorized money transfer. I tried to practice some sort of zen thing-but that never works with me. I sighed and stomped my feet several times. finally, the teller asked for back up. there were 13 people in line behind me. also, I had to go to the american consulate today.-oh crap! this is the wrong post!

    There's nothing I loathe more than being in line behind someone with WIC money. Period! (As the items are being scanned I'm thinking.."and I'm buying that...and that...and that...." (Don't like being behind line cutting Kardashians either though).

    Government-backed street criminals enjoy monopoly of employing force upon law-abiding citizens without fear of citizen retaliation.
