We didn't see any of this stuff while we were there. One of our tour guides from Italy said he had planned on retiring next year on about 1800 a month

An Englishman I was talking too commented," I can't believe you chaps are going down the same road we went". Every entrepreneur I talked to was not very happy with the way things are in their county.

for free hand outs and the flat out lazy that won't work but work the system for free handouts, I'm sick of these free loaders, why do only half of American workers pay taxes and the other 47% don't. I'm sick of hearing how the rich get over but when you look at the real bottom line the rich if you call them that pay most of Americans taxes today. I'm not rich but yet pay Taxes almost every year for the last 30 years outa my small pay check to do my share for this country, where is the help from the other 47% of Americans that don't pay taxes, if they did they could help lighten my tax burden and keep me as far alway from Government handouts as possible

I hate this, this is totally unfair to me, a blue collar worker thats shows up everyday for work for the last forty years but can't get a break, I'm ask to give more while free loaders sit on their fat azzes at home drawing a pay check from Goverment on my tax dollars watching T.V. while eating ice cream

I make no bones about where my feelings are on this issue and the failed policys of Liberalism as a whole and will do what I have to in the end, they want a new civil war based on Liberalism, I say bring it and lets get this over and it will be over

Those folks need a dose of reality, The bible, The word of God says those who don't work don't eat. I'm not against helping people who actually need it but I'm tired of seeing moochers live in government apartments producing several new moochers just to get a fatter paycheck, free housing, free food and medical, free cell phones and as you said laying around watching TV while they're covered with tattoos. I don't have any tattoos but I imagine they ain't cheep. I'm not against anyone having them unless they're living off me and somehow paying for them and not paying for what they actually need to live. All the while we're busting our tails to support this. You my friend are right about the total BS. This country started as a result of a bunch of folks tired of BS Government rules from England. I certainly hope it don't come to that, but in the end just like when the Brits lined up against our founding Americans on the field of battle, one feller had the guts to fire that first shot and say that's enough. I certainly hope we have that kind of courage when it comes time. I do believe that time is getting close. Rave off..... Flipper out.

and yet most of them are rich! There are more rich Democrats than there are Republicans, but they make it sound like the Republicans are only for the rich!!! Like Rick says on the Rick and Bubba Show (syndicated throughout the US) I never had a poor man give me a job! It is typical socialist/communist propaganda to attack the rich. If you look at the socialist/communist countries of the world, the folks in charge are the rich ones, everyone else is equally poor! That is what Obama wants, and he sees himself as the man in charge. We have got to vote that Kenyan commie out of office before he does more damage! And send all his cronies in the Senate and House home with him!!!

I feel the same as you guys. Drive through the inner cities if you dare. Took a wrong turn once. Some of the homes are kept nice, but for the most part, it looks like the aftermath of a battle. Boarded up homes, piles of bricks, litter, homeless, drug dealers come up to your vehicle, people urinating, prostitutes walking about, men and women hanging out laughing and carrying on, all this in the middle of the day. Don't even go there after dark.
Our hard earned taxes going to help people who don't give a rats ass about anything but shuckin' and jivin'.
