Oh my gosh, that’s terrible. I had no idea that had happened. Thank you for the heads up.

Just because you think that a nation was 7/10 private sector doesn’t mean it doesn’t have an all-powerful state to fuck it all up for everyone.

Too bad they can’t be as generous when it comes to other issues.
As the Foundation Abbé Pierre pointed out in a tweet where they thanked those contributors for helping the rebuilding of the cathedral where their founder’s funeral took place in 2007, while asking them if they could maybe chip in one percent of that sum for the homeless and poorly-housed people he spent his life caring about and fighting for.

Not everyone has a boner for living independently and off the grid like you, Ancap. Some of us actually need the benefits of society to survive.

And not all of us like being forced to give up a chunk of our incomes, under penalty of jail time or worse, to feed a bunch of welfare queens like you who contribute practically nothing to that same society!

People with disabilities are apparently welfare queens huh
Also welfare queens are a myth, not to mention they barely exist

The disabled is one thing, but those who try to get away without working is another thing.

Think you need to do more research. If you’re on welfare then you need to get a job within a certain amount of time. Also, I don’t know what you’re complaining about. Yeah we still give welfare but the amount is meager when compared to the other countries. Also, it’s money going to veterans, the elderly, the disabled, people who got laid off and need something to keep the lights on while they find another job, you know…people who actually need the help. And besides, I don’t know you’re outraged over helping people. You should be more outraged over the fact that your tax payer dollars goes to stupid shit like bombing brown kids in the Middle East, funding thousands of bases all over the world and in random places, and of course Donald Trump’s little golfing trips

I’m already mostly aware of those things, and they piss me off, too. But you have to realize that I don’t have time nor the energy to keep up 100% with all the fucking issues plaguing the world. I do have a life outside Derpibooru’s politics thread (although not much of one.)

On the list of things to be pissed off at, those should be pretty high on the list and welfare should honestly be at the bottom. Do I have to remind you of the F-35?

People who abuse welfare and benefit systems like that are not as common as you believe they are, and its that twisted belief that people use to try and justify abolishing them. Don’t screw over the majority just because of the actions of the minority.

I’m just saying, I find it odd that out of all the things to get pissed at, welfare is what sets you off. You do realize we have a Republican in the White House right? Don’t know if you know this or not but they’re kinda notorious for cutting welfare programs

There are plenty of things that piss me off. I’m not exactly a serene person. And the fact that I’m not physically at your house punching you in the face speaks VOLUMES about what little civility I actually do have. And don’t blame me for Donald fucking Trump, I didn’t vote for him, I didn’t vote at all! (I would’ve voted for Gary Johnson had I any desire to vote.) Voting doesn’t solve much anymore. Either way, you get shit politicians who make shit laws that won’t go away.

First off, you need to chill. Secondly, I didn’t blame you. Please take the time to read my post properly before responding. And finally, it’s not that hard to disconnect yourself from politics. Trust me, it helps a lot.

But it’s one of the first things in the mainstream media, and whether it’s real or perceived, it’s the few bad apples that spoil the bunch. And like I said, I don’t have time to research every fucking issue 100%, I have a life outside this thread to lead.

I wouldn’t mind welfare programs so much if the government was smarter about how it spent it’s money. Or rather, other people’s money as the case may be.

If you live in a country where the government can expropriate your land and steal your money, you live in a socialist country.
