Fast food workers demanding 15 dollars an hour? What a joke.
Tell me, why should I have to pay taxes to support the welfare state? Why should I HAVE TO PAY FOR YOUR MISTAKES???
If you cannot afford to have children, THEN DO NOT HAVE CHILDREN!!!!!!!!!!
Sterilize all people on welfare. Problem solved immediately.
So John Doe is from Cambodia or Exon Mobil in Texas.
