DISGUSTED WITH PEOPLE'S LABELS OF THE POOR

This is just another clear example of people's ignorance and arrogance of others whom are down on their luck and destitute to boot.

Let's take it out on those individuals who have less than those who are fortunate to have a job!

Sure! Why not? This is a free country!

Let's bomb on the welfare recipients, those getting state assistance, and free medicare--by insinuating that all we're doing (each and every one of us)--is exchanging our checks and food stamp cards for drugs.

Yeah! That's the ticket! Let's all start throwing mud at those people who are struggling to even make a living for themselves!

I hate to break it to that one letter writer ("Make recipients pass drug tests"), but you're talking to one such recipient who doesn't do drugs!

I can't afford it! I'm barely scraping by as it is! Why would I need to fill my body with such filth anyway?

I take great offense to those who imply that all those people like me are the ones who are trading their "free lunch" for meth and heroine. Just like I took offense when a few people suggested that we should execute every sex offender in the state of Washington.

Lack of morals and ethics going on here?

No. Just stupid idiots whom don't understand what people like me have to go through each and every day just to survive on what little is given to us each month.

But what do I know? I'm just a drug-addled "welfare recipient".

Right?
