If people on welfare were smarter, they would do what Trump did to be successful. Trump did it, so can you. With enough money, you can create whatever loopholes you want. Learn all about it at Trump University

The day I hear a conservative ALSO complain about corporations getting tax subsidies and the rich getting loopholes, when they're complaining about people on food stamps buying a Coca-Cola, is the day I'll know that it really is the money they're concerned about.

Until then, I remain convinced they're just against the poor and working class getting ANYTHING...their view is that they are deadbeats and don't contribute to our society.
