Am I wrong

       Is it just me?  I have been working since I was 15 and at the age of 65 getting a little tired, no one told me back then I could work for the government for only 20 years, retire, get a pension, and move to a warmer state with no income tax..........whatever
      So today, I am not only STILL working, support myself, but also those who choose not to work including the soon to be illegals that will be soon called new citizens.
      I am working to support those who in turn will cast their vote for a Democrat and a liberal agenda that will keep me working and them collecting?  Is this correct?

It’s been just over nine months since I learned that the welfare reform of the 1990s isn’t working anymore.
Reform began with Republican Governor Tommy Thompson in Michigan, and was picked up here by Governor Bill Weld. Both Republican and Democrat legislators got on board in 1994 after a local welfare mother became the poster woman for welfare abuse.
Clarabelle Ventura abused her 4-year-old son by plunging his hands into boiling water, then locking him in his room for weeks without treatment. She had five other children and was pregnant again when she was arrested; it was learned that she’d sold her food stamps, and a washing machine supposedly bought with lottery winnings, to buy drugs. Her family lived in a rent-subsidized apartment, had a menu of welfare benefits; she sent her children out into the projects to beg for food, cigarettes and money. I don’t recall any mention of a known father for any of the children.
Soon after this expose, Massachusetts passed legislation calling for time-limited welfare assistance and tough work requirements. The next year the federal welfare system was reconstructed, with state governments given more autonomy over welfare delivery, while also reducing the federal government’s responsibilities. There were time limits and stricter conditions for food stamp eligibility, as well as reductions in immigrant welfare assistance.
And that was the last I heard about the subject, until I got the following email from someone last April:

You might want to sit down for this: state spending on furniture tops $8M

      Did I mention that my Governor wants to increase the income tax to us who are making an income.  Yes, the worker bees to get stung again!
