The Big Guy Wants To Give Away Money
« on: December 19, 2014, 04:22:21 PM »
Having already set his wife up for impending destitution, the Big Guy fishes for sympathetic attaboys from his fellow DUmpmonkeys by offering to give away money.

The Big Guy is belatedly trying to buy his way into Paradise, but handouts to the DUmp are hardly the way to do it. 

The response is predictable:

Food, shelter, and love from the DU

Because this comes so late in the "peace on earth season", I have not contacted DU management in advance. I understand if this gets locked.


Since W took office the US middle class on down has suffered. Ask any real DUer.

Wages are flat for the jobs that are available. More than 46 million Americans living below the poverty line. Budget cuts across the US, state, county, and municipal levels are taking a toll. The safety net of the private sector is overwhelmed. The DU safety net (http://wishadoo.org/) was overwhelmed too.

DUers as a community have been generous in times of need to fellow DUers. A few have been critical of giving a helping hand. I don't know how to answer the naysayers.

Marta and I have a warm home. We have had very bad times. We want to help. We stopped giving to the Salvation Army over differences with them over LGBT issues. I know this comes a little late into the season, but can we help a few DUers at this time of year?

I don't know how to do this on my own. With an organized effort we can do so much for very little.

So how do we do this?

Free money? Guess who shows up:

13. Thank you and Marta! I'm still struggling.

It would be the best Christmas present ever, if I could finally reach my fundraising goal. While I fully expect to receive my SS disability by late February or early March, my cash-on-hand is in the double digits, so I'd appreciate any help I can get.

CCD must need money to buy bags of candy for parking next to the school yard.

There will be a lot of barking up that tree.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

You may remember this guy, a frontrunner for the Steve Senti Award for panhandling, is Robert Lewis, a registered pedophile sex offender in Illinois.

Sounds like the kind of victim the Big Guy would want to help.

I don't care if you do use DUmmie math, you can't divide a five dollar bill but just so many ways.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

No calls for "tax the rich"? The DUmp must be getting soft.   :mental:
Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

This mooch is begging for $1,672. 


Steve gave him $15.   I'm pretty sure that's not the amount the CCD primitive had in mind.  :rotf:

Ol' CCD shouldn't complain. That $15 would buy him three blowjobs from the Tucson Tart.

Yeah, for a normal sized person.  A guy Steve's size can put down considerably more than $15 worth.

One has to make choices.  Beer or mini-tacos.  One can't have both for $15.

Although the president often rails against income inequality in America, his policies have had little impact overall on poverty. A record 47 million Americans receive food stamps, about 13 million more than when he took office.

The poverty rate has stood at 15 percent for three consecutive years, the first time that has happened since the mid-1960s. The poverty rate in 1965 was 17.3 percent; it was 12.5 percent in 2007, before the Great Recession.

About 50 million Americans live below the poverty line, which the federal government defined in 2012 as an annual income of $23,492 for a family of four.

Not everyone’s doing badly, of course. The richest 10 per cent are the only group – the only group! – who saw their median income rise from 2010-2013. As the Washington Times points out, that’s the same period in which Barack Robin Hood Obama won re-election painting the GOP as corporate vampires. The richest people have seen their share of taxes decline quite dramatically under this “socialist” president – while, interestingly, the share of federal income tax paid by the middle class has, according to the IRS, slightly risen.
