Eileen Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 sorry this is not a rant toward anyone and off topic. I am not a republican but have problems with things going on today. Like who paid for the fertility treatments for the unmarried woman that had octuplets? I just believe if you create your actions, you cannot ask for a bailout. I worked two jobs to pay for my house, nor did I get in over my head. My feeling is the public should not have to pay for the poor actions/decisions of others sorry just my opinion since I am paying a huge amount of taxes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MsC1210 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I have been reading more and more about that whole situation and honestly, it is beyond bizarre!!! Certainly makes one wonder!!!!

Snowflake Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 ...and, on the flip side, having paid taxes, HIGH taxes for the last however many years while making a decent wage, it sure would be nice to get access to some of those social programs for the unemployed now that both me and my husband ARE. Yep, would be nice to get some of that money I've pounded down that rat hole - not that I mind assisting people that truly need it, but people who just take it all for granted and never use it as a step up...well, not so into that... ...and I'm GLAD I'm not in the California tax base!

Andrea Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 It is a big controversy here in California about that woman, people are asking questions. There is also an ethical debate on what dr would implant so many embryos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaminkw Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I'm in on this too--the side of personal responsibility. We have a lot of homeless here in Key West. Some come down to winter! We locals often divide them in our minds--the true homeless who are there because of bad luck or circumstances beyond their control, the mentally impaired who were tossed on the streets when they closed the mental hospitals years ago, and the bums who sleep in the shelters at night and booze and harrass people on the streets and on the beaches all day. My husband and I also worked hard and came up from very little means. It was part of life to pull yourself up by your bootstraps. We need more people with that philosophy today.

Ellen in PA Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Eileen, I'm sure you can find a Rush Limbaugh website where this post would at least be appropriate, if no less distasteful. Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eileen Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 but many do not I happen to be a registered democrat but discraceful to me is having multiple kids and having the puplic pick up the tab for them-- I wanted kids , could never afford them so I did not have them--but I should pay for someone elses choice? Everyone should pick up the tab for them self-- I, for one am tired of working all of these hours to pay for other people Insensitive--no--just tired of paying for other people's poor choices I get up at 4:40 a.m. , stand on a freezing cold station platform to go to work, pay 211 for my monthly train ticket, am lucky I get a seat, am lucky if I get home at 7:30 p. m. to pay for others mistakes!!! Please do not call me insensitive--I quite frankly am a liberal turning republican!!!! and no this web site is ok since i have posted off topic and others are posting about topics other than LC Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
