Common tactic: cover up your own stupidity by making a point that has
nothing to do with the one you made one (not two) post back and to which I
responded. In any event, the logic, even in your CYA point is ridiculous. It
doesn't matter how long he has been working. State and federal taxes are
being deducted from every one of his paychecks. Simultaneously, the
government is cutting checks for the woman trying to buy her beer on the
government's dime. Do you suppose the government takes Gowen's deductions
and puts it into a special account earmarked only for the national guard and
the armed services, or do you think some portion of his taxes are being paid
out to the woman abusing her food stamps? Shall I draw a diagram for you
Brett? And the other point you made in this thread is essentially that
anyone who has ever been in a position of not supporting themself (even
though not necessarily by accepting government handouts) loses their right
to criticize people who take advantage of government assistance. So I was in
school for 3 of the past 6 years, living off of my wife's paycheck and an
occasional student loan, which I am dutifully paying back as we type. But
criticism of welfare, and particularly those who abuse it, is now off limits
to me forever more. Brilliant Brett. Please use a bigger font and type MY
NAME IS BRETT AND I'M A COMPLETE IDIOT WHO CAN'T UNDERSTAND A DAMN THING I
READ.

The rejection has nothing to do with it. His remark would have been
appropriate before during and after rejection, or even if she hadn't been
rejected. She was ABUSING THE SYSTEM Brett.

Come on. You can do better than that. You're the guy who gets downright
nasty with people when they disagree with you as a way of deflecting the
fact that you can't seem to say anything that makes any sense, aren't you
Brett?

No need to explain anything to anyone who has even a modicum of reading
comprehension skill. Gambare!
