4. Outright revolt? You're already revolting.

I especially found this part interesting:

"When I'm at the Wal-mart or grocery story I typically pay with my debit card. On the pad it comes up, "EBT, Debit, Credit, Cash." I make it a point to say loudly to the check-out clerk, "EBT, what is that for?" She inevitably says, "it's government assistance." I respond, "Oh, you mean welfare? Great. I work for a living. I'm paying for my food with my own hard-earned dollars. And other people get their food for free." And I look around with disgust, making sure others in line have heard me."


So, you go to Wal-Mart, a company instrumental in making sure people stay on welfare by paying them poorly and making sure they can't afford health insurance, etc. We won't even get into their business practices that destroy American jobs buy putting the competition out of business and exporting manufacturing to China, etc. Then, while you're contributing to that problem, you complain of the problem you're helping create.

What a frickin' moron.
