As a taxpayer, I want to learn more how I can help Walmart and the Walton family.

Now watch Hannity blast these folks as terrorists and thugs, then demand they be arrested for high treason against the Walton Family.

His argument is bullshit. For one thing, there is a work requirement attached to all Federal assistance, so "whether they work or not" is simply untrue long term. The other problem is that even if it was true, it wouldn't mean that people will opt not to work. In order for not working to be a viable option, their public assistance would have to be a livable level of income, but it's pretty much designed not to be, and meets that design goal. Worse, as he points out himself, people still get public assistance if they do work. Without public assistance, employers would have to pay a living wage, otherwise people working for them would simply not be able to get by and there'd be no point in them working at all; with it, that threshold for minimum worthwhile benefit in working is lowered by the amount of public assistance.

Uncle Sugar took a nice chunk out of my ass yesterday, also too. Which is why I have ZERO SYMPATHY for that fucking deadbeat cowboy in Nevada. He can kiss my urban ass with his "aw shucks" Louis L'Amour routine and his whole persecution complex. I didn't particularly want to hand the IRS several thousand dollars either, but I'm not a whackjob WATB so I did my duty as a citizen and sucked it up and wrote that check. Fuck that mooching redneck wingnut...
