We were a low income family for many years. Now that we are retired, we are again.
Guess maybe I'll have to look into getting some of that free taxpayers money
before the Conservatives take over the government next year..


It's kinda funny, they don't have any means testing for a lot of the handouts..
I hear we are giving away millions in unemployment checks to people
who have adjusted income levels of over one million bucks.

Plus, there are the millions we are giving to that same category of rich folks,
who are collecting SS checks (& disability etc.).
I hope those rich people don't collect more than they paid in..

If I won the lottery for millions of bucks, I can't even imagine a reason
to apply for unemployment payments etc.. That just seems nutty to me.

I'm not sold on the whole redistribution of wealth idea.
Especially when we are borrowing a LOT of that wealth from China.

It just seems nutty to for the government to be putting our grandchildren
in debt so deep, they won't even be able to keep up with the interest payments.
