2. He should know accepting help from anyone

is gasp "socialist!" He needs to pull himself up by his big man bootstraps and help himself.

I know we probably shouldn't be thinking that way, but I am just so tired of them criticizing the underprivileged for, "expecting something for nothing, and accepting free handouts." Yet they all demand tax breaks but will immediately scream if any of the services they benefit from get cut. They don't seem to get the government can't afford to pay its workers without collecting taxes. How is that not expecting something for nothing?

I was hired to do research work for a nearby city, as an independent contractor, and the city manager was always voicing his frustration that apparently people expected the DPW to forgo overtime, so the citizens didn't have to pay any extra taxes, but still get the work done for free. Moochers.
