The downfall started with Lyndon Johnson and his welfare reforms.....Obama and the rest of the D's simply poured rocket fuel on the fire that already was burning. |
OK, I'll say it. YOU are part of the problem. You know about it, yet you do nothing but sit on a forum and ***** about it.
We had a similar situation with a "retired" fireman out on disability retirement, driving around in a new corvette and having another job building additions.
I wrote a letter and turned his ass in and he was investigated and his benefits were cut down to a little more than half of what they were.
All it takes is a well written letter and copied to the right multiple people.
It has to be to multiple people, so they all see that others are copied on it, so they are forced to do something. If it is one person, nothing happens.
You have to contact people on "both sides of the aisle".
Oh, and for the record, I volunteer with the local fire dept. Bull**** abuse is bull**** and it costs us all.
