JOE THE PLUMBER WAS ON WELFARE!?!

[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/Fu5hwy3JyIM" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]So I ran across a little post Obama elect interview with Joe the plumber. He was on a show and the host asked him a question relating to Obama and his loyalty to America. So not surprisingly this conversation turned into a bashing of Obama policies by Joe the plumber and why he thought Obama was a bad choice. As it turns out Joe himself was on welfare as were his parents numerous times. He had obviously been in tight spots and welfare had bailed him out, but he refuses to admit that he did any wrong by going on welfare. Somehow he legitimizes his stay on welfare with the idea that he put into the system and over generalizes that welfare recipients stay on welfare longer than needed and never put any tax money back into it. So even though without welfare who knows what kind of plumber Joe might have been he is against the very system that bailed him and many other people out. Its also funny how under Obama, Joe will be able to get  a tax rebate check but doesn’t want to get other peoples money. I want to see when that check comes in to him from the government if he isn’t going to cash it the second he gets it. Its these kind of people who say one thing but do something completely different that gets me annoyed. Give credit where some credit is due. America may not have the best welfare system the world but if it helped you out greatly  don’t speak out against it like its the most horrible thing in the world.
