Dear Jon Bruning, I am a welfare recipient...

[cynatnite]

I also work a full time job and have a family to support. I make $1400 a month. Were it not for welfare, we would either starve or live in the street.

I AM NOT A RACOON! I AM NOT LAZY!

15% of this country is on welfare. That is over 78 million American's, sir. Are they lazy? Do they deserve to be denigrated because they have to rely on welfare in order to care and feed their families?

When will people like you stop punishing the poor in this country for having the bad fortune of being poor?

Oh, btw. I am also a US Army veteran.

****

Sent to the jackass Jon Bruning who compared people on welfare to scavenging racoons.

I hope he gets swamped with emails like mine.

2. Bruning has sponged off the goverment pogey since 1986.

Either through sucking up Uncle Sam-guaranteed student loans, or loafing around picking up a salary from the state. He's never worked in the private sector a day in his life. Yet he has the gall to insult welfare people, with the amount of welfare he gets. Sounds like a typical hypocritical Teabagger.
