primitives on wishadoo

[freedumb2003b]

Only in postmodern America is begging considered to be OK.

"Wishadoo" is a cancer on the American body.

I would rather die a free man than live a man who begged for a living.

[freedumb2003b]

Well RobJ... I'd like to see some data/stats on what the political affiliation is for the people that did this.  I don't have it, so I will refrain from commenting about it. I suspect it would be very interesting.

First thing I ever did was to pay off the mortgage as fast as I could. Took 20 years, but I did it. No matter what happens I am gonna have a roof over my head.

Look at the "Wishadoo Blog" -- all liberal claptrap.

Libs like other people's money more than they like freedom or independence.

That is what my family members did. There were Carter Presidency  APRs of 18% then that encouraged the same.

Older family members built one part of the home at a time, living in the basement while they finished the upstairs, and then would add on as they had the money to do so. They never used loans. The lumber from my grandparent's home was from a large one room school house that they torn down.

The older Americans that I know now that owe on homes either choose to do so due to low APRs, having enough cash that they could pay off the home, or they got them self into a situation in which they found themselves upside down. The upside down thing happened a lot to people when they moved to Nevada with the hopes of selling their home and buying a smaller home when they retired.

A lot of people just don't value home ownership and figure they will either always have a mortgage or rent payment. Different priorities I guess. I don't think it has much to do with political affiliation.

3. Sounds like we're in much the same boat.

Social Security and food stamps. I'm in the process of re-qualifying, always an edifying and pleasant experience (yes, that was sarcasm). I was told to be available for a phone interview tomorrow, had to rearrange a couple things to accomodate that; God help you if you inconvenience them with a scheduling request. Won't know for a couple of weeks whether my benefit will increase, decrease, or stay the same.

Meanwhile, after rent and bills I typically have well less than $75 to cover OTC meds, incidentals, and food when the stamps run out (they typically stretch 2-3 weeks).

I'm in my third decade of dealing with this, and in all that time there has been one occasion wherein I was greeted by name. We no longer have case workers, we have technicians (further de-humanizing we clients). As a matter of course, we are treated with suspicion and impatience.

 

She then goes on with a msg for conservatives reading it, that her TV was given to her by friends, so she's not "rich" or anything.  3 decades!!!!   It's not supposed to be a way of life, and where is your internet service coming from, anyway? 

[DefiantSix]

Guy with "Will Work for Food" signs raise more money than that.

Guys with "Will Work For Food" signs are more believable than DUmbasses...

There was an article in the paper a few years ago about those guys that hang out at traffic intersections and beg for money.  The more "industrious" ones are getting SSDI or some other sort of payment or disability and can rake in $30k or more a year with what the government gives them.

It was more than I was earning at the time.

Damn, that's got to be a hickey when they pay their quarterly taxes.  No wonder they don't have any money ...

All kidding aside, wouldn't it be funny to donate to one of these people regularly for a year then hand them a 1099 on New Years Day.

DUmmies would try to cash it.

Unfortunately, the IRS wouldn't think it's funny.  Without his name and social security number, they would fine you and make you pay his withholding and social security/medicare taxes.

Progress report as of Monday at noon:

Are Grits Groceries is now $113 of $1000, from six donors, a big jump.

stewert is now $670 of $2300, from seven donors.

The convenience store primitive is still stuck at $10 from one donor, her goal being $300.

I'm guessing donations to stewert are fake, perhaps made by himself.

[Karin]

I was struck by this, from page one:

But now stewert has added this: 9/8/13 UPDATE:  $1000 has been raised, so another $1000 is needed.  Ideally another $1300 could be raised since an unexpected insurance expense has arisen.

Just look at the entitlement mindset!  "Yeah, guys, that's great and all, but I need more more more more more."  He is beginning to be one of my more disliked DUmmies, and I'd never heard of him before.

Is all this money actual American greenbacks, or just DUmmy pledges?

When you go to exchange, you don't get many U.S. dollars for a DUmmy pledge dollar.

[BannedFromDU]

     Not only does every DUmmy seem to have cats, but they're all old as the hills and in need of constant medications (the DUmmies AND the cats). A 16-year-old cat that needs medicine is what you call AN EXTREME LUXURY. Meanwhile, in every other thread on DU, they're telling us how much smarter they are than us and how we should be living. Each version, of course, seems to revolve around my money being given to them to keep cats alive.

Two old cats who need expensive medication are what I call "a pair of fur slippers".

If it is under $900 it is 100% OK to 1099 someone who "worked for food" as an independent contractor/

If you 1099 someone, it has to have the name, address, and Fed. I.D. number of both the payer and payee on it.

If the name and Fed. I.D. # (social security number) don't match up in their computers, they come after the payer to either provide the correct information or they can fine you (up to $1500) and pay the payee's taxes.



 

[GOBUCKS]

DUmmies want the jug-eared muslim's Death Panels to push the elderly into their graves,
but beg for money to keep their twenty-year-old cats alive.

[GOBUCKS]

I live with 2 sixteen year old cats who need certain medicine and food to maintain a decent life.

Look on the bright side, DUmmy.

You shouldn't go hungry for at least two more days.

Tuesday noon report:

Are Grits Groceries is now up to $183 (the goal's $1000) from nine contributors.

stewert's up to $695 (the goal's $2300) from eight contributors, but most of that might be fake.

The convenience store primitive has reached $15 (the goal's $300) from two contributors.

Anybody know how much she actually gets?  I'm sure Wishadodo and Pea Pail take a cut, don't they?

I'm sure they take a cut, but I'd have no idea how much.

Fifteen DUmp pledge bucks.

She should print out her Wishadoo! page to give the cab driver when she gets to the Tucson bus station.

Not to worry, I'm sure they will take her "prepaid" Pee Pail Debit Card.

Hello,
 

Single Mom in between jobs needs around 600 to cover rent and bills, but any amount will help. It is a wonderful thing what Wishadoo is doing. I intend to help out as soon as I can, all the other kind folks I see here. God Bless  each of you.
 

Not sure who "kha" is but grits is doing a little better -  another DUmmie made this thread for her:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023634523

As for the other two, what Freedum did was to take some day and count up six weeks to get to that Oct. 5 thing she's stuck on. I guess it never occurred to her that if she went during the week, she wouldn't need the motel on Sunday night but  . "steve" is still demanding more donations on top of what he's already "raised":

Steve
Another $25.00 was donated today, so I just need about $1.200 more.

And btw folks, I do own a website called www.oreilly-sucks.com that has the #1 Google rank. So if anyone is interested in buying advertising, go to the website and contact me.
