Don't take any wooden nickels.
You've already been sold a pig in a poke, so be careful.
This will go well...

"The Nevadan rancher in trouble with the federal government for grazing his cattle on federal lands without paying the proper fees is speaking out as what he sees are issues involving minorities and welfare. Cliven Bundy, the 67-year-old rancher whose standoff with federal rangers made him a Fox News star, told reporters Wednesday, “I want to tell you one more thing I know about the Negro,” he started, and went on to complain about how he thinks they just sit on their porches all day. “And because they were basically on government subsidy, so now what do they do?” he wondered. “They abort their young children, they put their young men in jail, because they never learned how to pick cotton. And I’ve often wondered, are they better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family life and doing things, or are they better off under government subsidy?” Rand Paul, who has previously expressed support for Bundy, said in a statement, "His remarks on race are offensive and I wholeheartedly disagree with him.""
Well, looks like the Klan will be sending a contingent the next time things flare up on the ranch....
So the same people will be out there next time?
Like Sherrif Brad Rogers of Elkhart:
"I really don't know if Bundy is correct in his stand; whether he truly owes money or not. Some people think he's a freeloader, using public land for his cattle. Yet, he is a hard worker, unlike others on welfare sponging off the taxpayer for no work. The tradition of ranchers using public land is centuries old. Bundy supporters agree that the issue is complex. However, what all people, including myself, would agree on, and likely sparked the patriot response to this event, is that we will not tolerate being governed by a Federal government at the point of a gun."

Last thing I read was that he was charging other ranchers to graze cattle on "his" BLM land & water.
Hate to say I told you so…… …..no I don't.
I TOLD YOU SO!
Why is it that the face of welfare always has to be a black person?

I had to get unemployment for 14 months a few years ago until I finally found another job. It was the first time I ever accepted assistance in the 38 years of my working life. A sick wife + mortgage required me to do it and it was still a tough pill to swallow.
You may well have done so
I'll take that as a victory. As to the escalation of violence by the Fed….I agreed that it was wrong a couple of threads ago.
It shouldn't be, but they are the biggest recipients of it and whites are #2.
Until you asked this I had no idea, so I looked up the stats. The real shock for me is the $$/hr equivalents further on down the table ($17.50/hr Hawaii - for doing nothing?)
From Time mag (ugh):
African Americans are only 12% of the population as a whole, at least according to the census count, yet they're 33% of the welfare population -- surely evidence of a shocking addiction to the dole.
