So here is the story from one of those who lives a crime free life, pays his taxes has worked for a living for more than 50 years and is fed up with freeloaders!

Why all the uproar about what Mitt Romney said? It is true too many people feel entitled and the government cares for them. Really, why do we hand out EBTs to pay for things like candy corn at Halloween? Why do felons deserve them and what is it with these so-called earned-income credits?

I don't mind helping those in need, due to no choice of their own, help themselves, but under this liberal Obamanesque approach we are dragging along felonious losers, welfare cheats and the perpetually lazy. That approach needs to go the way of the Dodo birds!

To rewrite The Hollies hit - "They are Heavy and They Ain't My Brothers."

It's time to dump the parasites. Vote Republican and get rid of them. Time to force them to act like adults and grow up. It's time we end the socialist agenda. Keep America free and for those who have enough dignity and self respect to try to take care of themselves.
