Much better we can't get a job and work! I must admit the thought of being forced to work, moving out from under my bridge and eating real food is just down right appaling. I enjoy my fine cuisine of whatever garbage I can find from the "rich folks" and civil servants as well as any rats and pigeons (MMMmmm boy Squab!) that stray to close. GOD FORBID OUR NATION EVER MAKES ME GIVE UP THE GOOD LIFE!

The nerve of our goverment giving ALL TAXPAYERS AN EVEN BREAK on thier taxes! How dare they! Next thing you know we'll be able to speek our minds openly w/o fear!
