Srexley:My comment was in response to a post by Traska in which he stated: <<...You and everybody else that seem to want to turn this country into Godless, immoral cesspool where the entire population gets money from Uncle Sam to pay for their daily dosage of I forgot I was supposed to work for a living pills and use what's left to buy a few [c]rap CDs>> Now technically I guess you're right that this person may not feel that all welfare recipients are cheats. But I daresay I've been hearing that implication since before you were born--just a wild guess--from none other than Jesse Helms himself as a TV editorialist in the 60's. I am not defending any Democratic philosophy or agenda or keeping the 39% tax bracket, and certainly not perpetuating class war as you suggest, simply by making an observation based on years of direct experience. My inference was that "a portion" of people on welfare are incapable of coping and to make generalizations is to misjudge the situation.
