Mr. Bill's Space

Rick sleeps as late as he wants because he lives off the interest of inherited wealth and profits from off shore business interests. (Rick has never put in an honest day’s work during his entire white, “Christian” born-to-privileged life.) Rick usually gets up about 10 AM to enjoy breakfast in bed served by his personal illegal-alien maid, Maria Gonzales. Rick illegally writes Maria’s sub-minimum unreported wages off his income tax as “business expenses.”

After Rick has finished breakfast, his illegal-alien chauffeur, Paco Rodriguez, drives him from his exclusive gated community to the FDIC insured bank so that he can see how much money that he earned during the night while he was sleeping on his useless, lazy, fat ass. (Rick lives in a gated community because he fears retribution from all of the honest hard-working people that he has cheated and swindled throughout his worthless life.) Rick makes two stops on the way to bank. He stops at his tenement house to evict a 95 year-old widow woman because she was one day late paying the rent. After Rick evicts the widow woman, he makes a quick stop at a nursing home to steal the wheels off the wheel chairs. Rick illegally writes Paco’s sub-minimum unreported wages off his income tax as “business expenses.” Rick also illegally writes off the wear and tear on his HUMMER and illegally logs his personally chauffeured travels to claim as mileage.

After the daily stop at the bank, Rick is off to a “business lunch” bought and paid for by a lobbyist. Of course, Rick illegally writes off his free lunch as a “business expense.” After lunch, Rick goes to his Whites-only country club to spend the afternoon playing golf, tennis, drinking and whatever else strikes his fancy. The American Petroleum Institute pays Rick’s country club fees and dues and Rick illegally writes off this perk as “business expenses.”

After a grueling day at the Country Club, Rick goes to a black-tie Republican fundraiser sponsored by the Koch Brothers and emceed by the drug-addled gasbag, Rush Limbaugh. Rick does not report his illegal one million dollar personal donation to the Republibagger candidate.

Paco delivers Rick’s drunken hide home around midnight. Rick coerces Maria into having sex before he goes to sleep by threatening to turn her into the INS. Rick illegally writes off Maria’s rape as “entertainment expenses.” Rick falls asleep with a smirk on his face safe and secure in the knowledge that he has not done one damn socially redeeming thing all day long.

Florida and Kentucky, two notoriously Red states, recently passed state laws requiring welfare recipients to undergo mandatory drug testing to receive benefits. This is a typical example of Republican “Blame the Victim” mentality to justify their disgusting selfishness and callousness.

According to Republican dogma, all people on welfare fall into one of two categories–Black, crack-using promiscuous single mothers that are too lazy to work or Brown-skinned illegal aliens.

I hate to burst the typical Rightwing Kool-Aid sipper’s bubbles, but they are dead wrong about some of their RNC beliefs. The majority of people on welfare are lily white and they are heavily concentrated in the Republican Red states. The majority of people on welfare are not too lazy to work. Some can’t work because of health reasons and the majority are under-employed due to the crappy Republican economy. The majority of people on welfare are not living high off the hog and driving Cadillacs.  This lie was perpetuated by dead Reagan.

Now that Rightwingers have been exposed to the inconvenient truth, they can all get off their holier-than-thou pedestals and show a little compassion for the people that are struggling to survive during the Second Great Republican Depression.
