The County Wel-Fair
I just wanted to relate this fucked up little story that happened just the other day.
I was at the local Safeway picking up a few things and I got in line. It was early in the morning but there was a decent size line, 5 or 6 people and only one checker of course. I waited patiently and when I was nearing the front, the guy in front of me got his things rung up and then he tried to pay with something called an "Independance Card." For those of you who aren't on welfare in Maryland, an "Independance Card" is like a debit card for food stamps. Of course his card wasn't working, primarily because I was right behind the guy I suspect, because this shit happens to me all the time. Anyway, after attempting to get his card through like, 10 times, the checker informed him that if the machine couldn't read his card there was really nothing they could do. "That's okay" the guy said and put the card back in his wallet. Then he reached into his pocket and pulled out a wad of cash that could choke a donkey. I swear he must have had five grand in 50's and 100's. I hadn't been having a great day up to that point and I just went off.
"WHAT THE FUCK?!" I yelled at him, "What the fuck is the matter with you? You got a wad of cash in your pocket and you're trying to pay for this crap with food stamps?! This is BULLSHIT!" The guy didn't say shit. "I might as well have paid for your stuff myself! I'm gonna end up paying for it eventually anyway!" The guy was still trying to ignore me, and he just paid for his stuff, took his change, grabbed his bag and walked off. Then out the store's front window I saw the guy get into a BMW and drive off. And that wasn't even the fucked up part. The fucked up part was I turned around and looked at the people in line behind me, and they were looking at me like I'M fucked up for saying something to the guy. "What the fuck are YOU looking at?!" I said, "Am I wrong?"
"No, you're not wrong," a lady said, "but you're an asshole."
"Hey, fuck you, too!" I replied, "I'd rather be an asshole and RIGHT than a nice guy and wrong, so suck my dick, bitch!" That's right about when the store's manager or whatever walked over with their rent-a-dick and asked me to leave. "Hey, fuck you, too. This is bullshit!" Then the rent-a-dick escorted me out of the store. I shouldn't call him that, he was actually a nice guy. He told me he'd been wanting to go off on customers for years but he needed his job. But anyway, WHAT THE FUCK?!
Look, I'm all for subsidizing the poor, providing food for impoverished people and everything, but when people are on welfare who clearly don't need it, that's some fucking shit. This guy didn't have a fucking money problem, he was just a freeloader, taking advantage of government beauracracy's inattentiveness, which is something YOU AND ME end up paying for. And when people give ME shit for calling someone on it, that's bullshit on TOP of bullshit. The guy was basically robbing ALL of us and the rest of these pricks were willing to just bend over and take it? What a bunch of pussies! I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Not only would I do it again, I'd kick the guy's ass on the spot next time. Then I'd follow his ass to the hospital and smother him because I'm sure he would screw us all on the medical expenses too. And then I'd find his family and slit all of THEIR throats because they're all guilty of the same shit. I'm not really going to get into this any further than that, I just wanted to relate that story because it was fucked up.
