"It's free money!" said Alecia Rumph, 26, who waited in a Morris Park, Bronx, line 300 people deep for the cash to buy uniforms and book bags for her two kids.You know, "free money."
"Thank God for Obama. He's looking out for us."
...The no-strings-attached money went to families receiving food stamps or welfare. [More]

Of course. Have to make the slaves comfortable in their government brainwashing facilities so they can learn how great the state is and how the bill of rights is terrorism.
Accepting "handouts" from government is like milking a grizzly. You may get fed for a while, but eventually the bear WILL maul you. TANSTAAFL
I totally agree with you man, Mr. McMAnigal...it's a true ripp-off scam
yeah, I know about that free money. We have been freeing some of ours for the last several weeks buying school outfits for our grandchildren. Free that old money right up, I was high fiving, and tenning, and twentying right out of our wallets.
Free money, my ass!
I'll keep this bullshit in mind as I prepare 3 boys for middle school, sans the handouts. I keep a close eye on what they're taught, and correct daily the rubbish they're told, backing it up with facts. They're also taught to shoot, scoot and communicate. But not to seek, or accept, handouts.
A couple of years ago I received a letter from my local ASCS (Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service) office offering me $5000.00 (no strings attached). I ignored the letter. Two weeks later I received a phone call from the ASCS wanting to know why I hadn't responded.
To make a long story short, it turned out that the only requirement was that I keep 200 acres of my property free of weeds. when I asked which 200 acres the government wanted kept free of weeds I was told that would be determined later.
I told the government to keep its money. You would have thought I had accused Jesus of being a Muslim.
The state never offers anything that doesn't have strings attached.
the definition of money is: the marketplace commodity with the greatest marketability. another way of saying this is that it is the most liquid. liquid means instant sale, without:
- offering a discount
- advertising
- paying commission
you would think someone was crazy if you had to use one of these gimmicks to get them to take money from you in exchange for some good/service.
fiat currency is not money by definition, or by having money's properties. fiat and the marketplace are mutually exclusive, no matter what is done in the name of which. that it was declared to be "legal tender for all debts, public and private" demonstrates that advertising was necessary to force the u.s. dollar into liquidity. this is no more justified than any other aggressive use of force could ever have been or will ever be. it also gives away that it's just a debt instrument, not an actual commodity. "whoops." ha-ha. look over here.
like all state currencies, however, the dollar will come to an end -- an ugly one -- as the collateralized debt instrument which everyone in society finally traded away all of their life and liberty to, then suddenly discovered there was nothing it could be traded for. at least you can eat it.
[aside: currency is the thing you can trade for any good or service, worldwide. gold is the thing you can trade for any currency, worldwide. think about that.]
i see no more reason to protect the dollar from grubby paws as these than to defend the dollar itself: once you allow to a pack of criminals styling themselves aristocracy that any function of a society ought to be socialized, you have opened the pandora's box of idolaters. celebrate diversity.
justice used to mean reviewing incidents of social conflict in order to bring to light the implicit contracts in peoples' actions with respect to each other, so that a solution other than force could be recommended to them. this means privatizing the costs of their conflict, in a peaceful fashion, and without forcing them to take a bitter pill if it could not be said to suit them.
what passes for "justice" today? collecting enough taxes to fight the right war, or to subsidize the right labor?
if you won't repudiate the state, at least step out of the way as it collapses.
