Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire My Poor Father. This Is Not Right

My father worked his whole life. He quit school in the 8th grade to raise his brothers and sisters during the depression. Worked in the shipyards during the wars and was in construction as a welder until he retired.

While growing up I can remember him working two and sometimes three jobs at once to make sure his family had a roof over their head, food and clothes. When he retired, he had a nest egg of $200,000 that he had struggled to save to supplement my mother’s and his monthly Social Security check. Because of his little next egg, he could not receive any extra help form the government.

Later in life he suffered from emphysema and arthritis. At one point he was in such pain from arthritis he broke down to go to a pain center. While sitting in the waiting room the administrator said, he would have to pay $506 out of pocket as neither his Medicare or his supplement would not cover it before the doctor could see him. He wrote the check and continued to wait for the doctor. Meanwhile a woman who recently arrived to our state from Somalia wearing her native clothing and headdress and could not speak English. She passed the nurse Medicare card and got her treatment free. This is just wrong.

I am sure other members have seen the same or similar incidences where you just cringe when you see this sort of free giveaways. I think with the way the liberals are now it is only going to get worse. God bless my father who recently passed..

exactly what .gov wants.....

I'm afraid so.

This is the way of the future. US citizens who worked hard all their lives will have the " white privilege " to pay for most every alien, legal or illegal, while they get next to nothing.

The whole welfare thing is not right.................take form those who've worked & give it to those that won't.

I just wonder how it will work when no one will work anymore.

One day, the group of people who tire of paying the way for everyone else will burn the system down.

Yep

But on the other hand, if someone has the ability to pay...why should taxpayers pick up the bill?

Why should we pay for immigrants? I don’t care if I have a million in the bank.

There was a meme in the thread that explains this perfectly.

[bleep] the immigrants! [bleep] Biden!

Who is going to pay for all the free stuff the commies are going to give out.? Be Well, RZ.

Correct. Taxpayers should not pay for immigrants either.

Our kids.

Why should anyone be entitled to anything at all? Just because something exists does not mean I should be able to have it. It doesn't matter what it is: the latest Corvette, the latest Cessna business jet, the latest cancer treatment...whatever. I can't afford any of that and for me to expect anyone else to pay on my behalf---even the cancer treatment---is covetous and immoral.

Sorry you lost your dad. Thats a tough thing to go through. I completely understand your frustration.

Over 1,000 have arrived in just one town where my dad lived in Maine and more are coming.

Don't EVEN get me started.

F-ck em all, work for cash...

This is their utopian Amerika.

Any stupid sumbich who is still voting dhimokrat at this point needs to have their grey matter examined for leaks.

That's about the only way to beat them. Work for cash and barter. I'll fix your leaky faucet if you'll fix my alternator kinda trades.

Saw where those idiots want to tax you by the miles you drive.

Guess who they're targeting?
