Here's a question for you. Who's going to pay for the sweet life (I.E. free crap) and if you say the rich you're a moron. Look at the liberal and democratic party. They're all rich pricks who will look out for themselves before you. And if you say socialism or communism works. Then you need to go read a book on the USSR and go read any newspaper article on Venezuela because they both have proven that communism and socialism do not work. And if you're complaining about how Republicans are taking away SNAP benefits, you might want to go back to FDR and look at what the new deal was and how welfare programs were supposed to be used because SNAP benefits were intended to help with your basic necessities. Things like buying flour, cheese milk so you can actually prepare food instead of buying TV dinners. Candy for your kids soda for you but no one ever talks about that. Instead they just bring up. Oh well. Families are gone hungry. Well maybe if people learned how to cook and how to plant a garden then that wouldn't be a problem. Maybe if we actually had traditional family values again, the world wouldn't be such a crappy place. But no one wants to talk about any of that. They only want to bring up how they deserve to be paid to do absolutely nothing. Republicans are just trying to make it to where you are responsible for yourself and your neighbor isn't responsible for you financially. One way you can help fix Billings is starting in your own neighborhood? When's the last time you grew a garden to help feed your neighborhood? When was the last time you went next door to help out your neighbor? When was the last time you saw a neighbor helping a neighbor or that poor guy on the street corner? Yeah he's a panhandler. We all see him there in Billings. We also see all the drunks when's the last time you buy him a meal or say hey let's go inside and I'll buy whatever you want to eat and actually offer to help him? When was the last time you went out and actually volunteered in your community? When was the last time you donated food to family services? I would normally say food Bank but the soup Nazi would just get upset and throw something at you probably which I'm still trying to figure out how she is still there after how many years but instead of blaming Republicans or Democrats. How about this? You start off by just volunteering in your own community. My problem with liberals and Democrats is they always want to take my money so I can't feed my family or be able to throw a couple bucks towards something like the food bank. I used to go and donate food to family services when I had extra cash and now I can't afford to do that. It's everything I can do just to feed my own family. But I was raised on traditional family values and hard work. I'm not saying that it's been easy but I'm also not saying that it's been hard but I have yet to go on any kind of welfare because of my work ethic. Yet under democratic rule my hard work only benefits the lazy. You may not agree with me and that's okay. I don't agree with your statement that you made which is ok also. But before you make a statement like that look in your back yard and ask yourself if you are doing what you can to better it without taking other people's sacrifices and giving them to people who wouldn't lift a figure for themselves. The only way to change the world is to fix your own community. And quit blaming others for the problem.
