Wow, you stick to the tactic even after it has been pointed out...

Paid taxes on both of what? I just said that state and federal taxes are
being deducted from the money he has earned. Is that not paying taxes?

Sorry, I have lost you with a few fairly common idioms and big words, or are
you deliberately playing stupid for lack of a point to make here. Try this:
"At the same time [that Kevin is paying state and federal taxes], the
government is paying money [i.e. cutting checks or writing checks] to the
woman who is trying to buy beer with the government's money."

Exactly. And she is spending the money of everyone else who pays Floriday
state taxes as well.

Yes! There's the Brett I was expecting.

Actually, my wife didn't have to pay taxes during the last year or so
because she was a Japanese national working at the Japanese consulate. And
I've already paid way more in state and federal income tax during the last 3
years than she did in the first two. So yes, although Gowen's welfare
cheater was in Florida, there are plenty of people in California who are
spending my money with their food stamps. Most of them I have no problem
with. But I have big problems with those who are abusing the system.

God Brett, can't you pay attention just for a few posts here? It was the
teen working the register who stopped the abuse. Kevin just pointed out to
her why she was rightfully being prevented from buying beer.

Actually, I doubt that I would say anything like that to someone. But I
still think it is hilarious that Kevin did. Does that still make me an
abuser of the poor?

Yes folks, Brett is back. Nice finish.
