+1 for awesome use of Gary Oldman gifs.

+1M internets for the symbolic punching in the face of douchebags like those guys. It's like they live in a world where NO WHITE PERSON EVER NEEDED SOCIAL HELP FROM WELFARE (ie, "other people's money") and like white people ALSO didn't fucking rig the system so that black people would be poor forever, thus being in desperate need of the whopping $100 someone might* qualify for for a limited time only. If they can read well enough to fill out the acres of paperwork. If they can get transportation to a welfare office for reviews or help filling out forms. If they have the time or energy to do either of these things while juggling kids and maybe a job, since no one can seem to find one these days.

Having been through the welfare process, and doing so again now, I think anyone who can manage all the paperwork and loopholes and interviewing processes freaking DESERVES welfare. I swear, for how many freaking hours I put into gathering all the stuff they wanted, I SHOULD be getting paid!

But no, no fuck everyone who needs help sometimes. Fuck people being in poverty, especially those who are likely only in poverty from systemic discrimination to begin with. Fuck starving kids, and people committing suicide because they see no help coming to them. Obviously, none of that is as important as wealthier white people keeping that extra $50 they put into the system a year. Especially fuckers like Santorum, who has probably been avoiding paying taxes at all for forever.

Can anyone tell me why Iowa's vote is so freaking important, anyways?

Ikr? These rich white douchebags are also the ones that bitch and moan about how the US is ~falling behind~ other industrialized nations in regards to education, and overall quality of life. They must have forgotten about how most other industrialized nations actually have a *gasp* social safety net for the poor(or those that the magical invisible hand of the Free Market lets fall through the cracks) in their societies.
