Don't do my boy Fry dirty like this.
"Thanks. I may not be smart, but I have a good heart. That's what my mom always said."
"She was a wise woman."
"Also, she said I wasn't much to look at."
"A wise woman indeed."
Switch panels 2 and 4.
Kids need to use their bootstraps. I grew up on welfare, nobody gave me any handouts.
(Yes that was a real comment from a dumb fuck relative on Facebook)
I met a guy in the military who said the same thing, he's a self-made man... Living off American tax dollars.
Keep your government hands off my Medicare!
My late stepdad literally was ranting about the evils of Obama wanting to create socialized healthcare (the ACA was before Congress at the time) while filling out the paperwork to apply for Medicare.
A convicted felon who inherited hundreds of millions of dollars from his father, so he shouldn’t even need the money in the first place.
Well if those kids wanted some free money, they shouldn't have broken Supply Side Jesus's first commandment "Thou shalt not be poor".
I'm paraphrasing here, but they also missed the part about, "Thou shalt be born of the poor for this is the Lord's will and none shall help you, for this is thine destiny. Amen."
That's a fun new nickname for the prosperity gospel 🤣
Their fake christianity rationalizes it
The illusion of the world being a meritocracy also plays a role i would imagine, "why should i have to pay just because they got parents too lazy to work", meanwhile the parents in question work 3 jobs and still don't make enough to pay rent
Yep. Religion isnt going to fix the economy
But there's no profit in giving money to needy school kids. There's profit in propping the candidate that's gonna cut your taxes.
There's probably a Rule of Acquisition for this.
Billionaires aren’t the only ones giving money. There’s a lot of dirt-broke dumbasses donating their last 5 bucks to a billionaire’s legal fees.
As for rules of acquisition…
treat your friends like family. Exploit them.
once you have it, never give their money back.
the bigger the smile, the sharper the knife.
every man has his price
The broke dumbasses do it for sport.
And those definitely are Rules of Acquisition, if slightly reworded, but I don't find them relevant to the situation.
Perhaps the following rules are a better fit from the protective of the "donors":
#33. Never hurts to suck up to the boss.
#34. War is good for business.
#285. No good deed ever goes unpunished.
If we only cut taxes on corporations and billionaires even more, they would be able to create more jobs to help the ~lazy~ parents of the poor kid.
