Because they bought Barack Obama too?

It was a bargain. Look what he's done for them while screwing the working people. The one percenters are getting all the additional income under Obama and they are getting rich on his stock market balloon.

Money well spent for them.

Well if you are personally giving someone money to people who don't care to work or you know personally someone who is getting money who don't care to work, either stop doing this or report this activity to the proper authorities ... immediately.

It's your duty as an American to prevent Government theft... I believe there's a Whistle Blower fee :grin:
