(Joe) Miller applied for indigent fishing/hunting license when new to Alaska
 Source: Anchorage Daily News

After he first came to Alaska, purchased a home in South Anchorage and started work as an attorney for a prominent local firm, Senate candidate Joe Miller and his wife obtained resident low-income hunting and fishing licenses that require a family annual income of less than $8,200.

-----

The cost of the low-income license was $5. Nonresidents paid $300 and residents who didn’t meet the income guidelines paid $55.

Miller came to Alaska in July 1994, while still in law school, and worked as a clerk and intern. He purchased the South Anchorage home that September (it currently has an assessed value of about $400,000). DeSoto said Miller’s wife and children stayed behind at the Anchorage home when he left that winter to return to Yale, going back and forth to Alaska.

3. That's not a damn mistake. He did that on purpose.
 It's not a mistake you CAN make, and it's not a mistake some lacky can make FOR you, you have to do it in person.

6. Article mentions he started at $70,000
 And don't these teabaggers tell us that people should have a sense of shame to apply for welfare or food stamps?

7. And his attitude: If there were no government, he wouldn't need a license
 He could just go kill all the animals he wanted and take all the fish he desired.

He's greedy for hunting and fishing for his own living as opposed to asking for other people's money? He's a welfare hypocrite for feeding himself?

I'll lay odds this is complete bull crap! It's pretty tuff to get a low income license. You have to show your W-2 for cripes sake!

These asshats are graspin' for straws! Especially after they figured out McSlutsky is pullin' votes away from the Dem with her "Im entitled" write in campaign!

Now how hard is that?

DUmmies argue for government programs and subsidized services and get mad when someone uses them?  Unpossible!

Newsflash, DUmmies--I'm willing to bet that soon-to-be Senator Miller has paid far, far more in taxes, fees, etc., as a productive member of society than you ever will.  And you begrudge him a measley $50?

It's not as if the guy was demanding (!) food stamps be increased so he could load up on steaks, shrimp, etc., pay for the beer and smokes on the welfare checks, haul it all out the the brand new dualie pickup, and then bitch about how "little the government GIVES us" (sob!) or whine about how the goverment forces (!) you to attend classes and sit at a terminal and actually LOOK for work--I mean, the nerve!!!
