    Ah the ol’ bootstrap manifestors

    Completely oblivious to the circumstances that gifted them their lives, yet insistent on making their delusion a reality for those less fortunate.

      I think it’s wilful ignorance, at least sometimes. They know they succeed because of taxes paid by previous humans, they just don’t want to contribute themselves.

      My parents sure do love voting away all social welfare from existence.

      My family would not have survived without the food, medical, and schooling assistance we recieved. Without their church helping out, we wouldn’t have had the rent several times.

      They don’t see any problem here.
