You asked for it -- lol. The only thing that carries weight around here is the ability to "stick it to the man." And by "the man," they do not mean the government. They see the government as a simple middle man, charged with raping and thieving from anyone who might be working hard to get ahead. RAISE TAXES! MORE REGULATIONS! MORE WELFARE PROGRAMS!
Anything that will remove money from the pockets of those the entitled see as "rich" is considered fair game and worthy of praise and adoration.
If you had said, "I've not held a real job in years, but I'm on 5 kinds of federal aid, you'd be a god here.
If you were a divorced or single mother with 6 kids from 6 different men, you would be worshiped here!
