I’m tired of people claiming to be “victims” and the government throwing out money to make them feel better. Here are some examples:

1) The Poor: Compared to the rest of the world you’re not, get over it! When people were “poor” 75 years ago they didn’t run to the goverment and expect a handout. No, you sucked it up and did what you had to to get by. Despite what the left would have you believe, if you’re poor it’s probably because you’ve earned it. Most of you won’t read that though, but simply put: don’t get pregnant until marriage, find a minimum wage job, and you’ll no longer be below the poverty line! Read that article.

2) Hurricane and other Natural Disaster Victims: Sorry your house fell down, but you should get insurance like the rest of us. Just because you’re poor (and we’ve established that was your fault), why should the government bail you out? I work hard and apply myself so I can afford insurance, so if my house does fall down, I’ll be covered. What is your excuse?

3) People that use Race, Gender, SES, or anything else to claim victim status: Start taking responsibility for yourself and stop blaming everyone else for your shortcomings. If you’re the victim of racism or sexism at work or some other institution and there is actual proof, by all means explore your legal avenues. What you are not allowed to do is run around crying that the reason you are not well off is everyone elses fault! How do you think it makes every successful minority feel when all you can talk about is how oppressed you are? You just sound retarded.

This is what the liberal left, and yes Mike the green party as well, will never understand. The minute the government says you no longer have to take care of yourself, people stop taking care of themselves. Let’s get back to the good old days where individuals, families, and churches took care of themselves, and the government had nothing to do with it.
