Reeltalk, I am curious which northeastern state was the site of your birth and upbringing. There is no way you are a Texan. You see, in Texas we believe in the individual. We do not need the government to to hold our hand, to pick us up when we fall, or to keep us from hurting ourself. We are a right to work, right to bear arms, "don't care how they do it back east", haven for the modern entrepreneur, old oil money, wave the American flag and to hell with those commie bastards state of individuals. You are a socialist at best and yes, that is a dirty word. You are why there is a state income tax "back east" and economic failure in California. You won't find many to agree with you here bacause most who post here are Texans.

They live in homes without paying rent and receive a monthly check from the government on top of that. All without working a day. Who is greedy? If these people worked, there wouldn't be jobs available for illegal immigrants, so another problem would be solved or at least lessened.

You wish you were me, even on my worst effin’ day, but you're indicted by your own ignorance in every word you say. You make dumb-ass assumptions based on the most ridiculous bullshit - like Texas cards, welfare checks, and oh let me guess - when your wiener schnitzel quits.
So you have the gift of judging others just by taking a mere glance when – you see how they pay for their food or maybe just by the color of their skin.
You say many won't agree with me here, but I’m getting PM’d to death, time-after-time - from many a provider who thinks of you - as the crap that the bull left behind (if you don’t believe it then count how many checked -
your likes verses mine).
And just who do you think you are - pointing out "illegal" immigrants - who make less than minimum wage. YOU should never despairingly use that term, unless you're Native American - or was brought here as a slave.
See you're an immigrant too - just a few hundred years removed.
So be careful who you think you know, lest you’re sounding like a fool.
