Goat: Do you realize that in 1985, there were only 13 billionaires in the U.S., and today there are more than 1,000? So while most of us struggle, there's this class of the super rich who've thrived. Rat: That's not fair. We need to change that. Goat: I agree. But how? Rat: By joining that class. Goat: I think you're missing the point. Pig: Let me be one of you, rich people!
I don’t want to get into a big politcal discussion about a comic, but 1/3 of my hard earned income goes to support a wasteful government.
Probably 1/2 of that goes to support a bunch of lazy drunks, druggies, breeders, gang members and cardboard sign toting beggars.
I help people in my sphere of influence when I see needs- clothes, food, jobs. I have no sympathy for bottom feeders. There is a difference.
I’m willing to give a hand up but not a handout.
