The American Moocher

December 20th, 2010 · 4 Comments

The picture below shows Raymeica Kelly holding up two power bills. Ms. Kelly is angry that she couldn’t get the taxpayers to pay her electric bills. She says she doesn’t have the money to pay her bills and is demanding that you and I pay them for her.

Notice anything odd about the photo?

Notice the big screen TV? Probably cost a couple thousand dollars.

Notice the Xbox game system? That plus the games probably cost a couple hundred dollars.

Apparently Ms. Kelly can afford to buy big screen TVs and video game systems, but since she spent all her money on those trinkets she now wants you and I to pay her electric bills … because that TV and gaming system require large amounts of electricity.

Says Neal Boortz: “Are you seeing my point here, folks? I am just so sick to damn death of these entitlement whores, these moochers who believe that the money that you worked for somehow belongs to them.”

Ayn Rand, in “Atlas Shrugged”, described the American population as composed of three classes:

- “Moochers” demand others’ earnings on behalf of the needy and those unable/unwilling to earn themselves, however, they curse the producers who make that help possible and are jealous and resentful of the talented on whom they depend.
- “Looters” confiscate others’ earnings by force (“at the point of a gun”) and include government officials, whose demands are backed by the implicit threat of force. The looters are proponents of high taxation, big labor, government ownership, government spending, government planning, regulation, and redistribution.
- “Producers” actually produce the goods and/or services that the rest of the population wants.

We really need to turn around this attitude of so many people that they honestly believe something you own is somehow “owed” to them because of reasons only they are able to define. We also need to make unemployed all the professional politicians that enable, empower, and pander to this class of person.

Don’t tread on me. I am armed, and I’m getting really pissed.

    Also note the old-fashioned, highly inefficient “milk-room” electric space heater, These run at 1,600 watts and are designed to heat barns. Her (tax-payer funded?) apartment looks far too modern not to be centrally heated. So why a milk room heater? Just another way to run up the utility bill? When someone else foots the bills, who cares, right?

    So he has a 50 inch flat screen,and still wants more of my hard EARNED money.

    Ben Frankly had it right, discomfort in being poor is the only way to get out of poverty.

    My daughter works at a large grocery store and you should hear the stories she tells about food stamp users. Almost half of her customers use food stamps. For the most part they don’t buy rice, beans, flour, coffee and sugar, they buy expensive cuts of meat and gourmet food. One lady recently bought two custom made cakes from the bakery for $60 each and paid for them with food stamps…..must be nice.
