How many of you know a "Sue"?

[spooky3]

1. Love it!

[kairos12]

2. That is a great post. I know multiple people like this. Unfortunately.

3. My BIL is kind of a reverse of Sue - he's on layoff

and thinks his unemployment check is sponging off the government!

[Ed Suspicious]

4. Well he certainly doesn't need to file for unemployment and wouldn't if he had the courage of his

convictions. Nobody but perhaps his much smarter wife is probably the only one twisting his arm.

[hedgehog]

6. I think he thinks he's putting one over!

[marble falls]

16. Serious assed denial, almost like Stockholm Syndome!

[Blue_Tires]

5. I know a lot of Sue's "husbands" locally

They're retirees after 20+ years from the Navy or Marines, always cursing "tax and spend big gummitt"

[Ed Suspicious]

7. Ah... the largest recipient of big gummitt tax and spend, but that spending is ok 'cause we need to

remind other countries how much they hate us for our freedoms.

[MADem]

8. I'll bet they're screaming about the GOP "one percent" bite out of the retirement incomes of all

military pensioners under the age of sixty two...

Funny how it's the DEMOCRATS who are trying to fix that business...

25. The sad part is whenever the Pentagon

decides to downsize or wants to move some carrier group to another base, all the anti-gummit types go batshit insane, wondering "How will we survive this loss of jobs and a piece of our tax base??"

10. Probably a third of all the people I know! nt

11. Marking to see later (work firewall)

but I work with a guy named Sue. It isn't a Johnny Cash thing, he is of Asian descent.

[Auntie Bush]

12. Thanks! Just sent that to 3 ReThug friends.

[Jamaal510]

13. Sadly,

I don't know any "Sues" or any Republicans period.

[JDPriestly]

14. Thank you.

[merrily]

15. If you've appreciated a stop sign or a traffic light, you've taken

something, but not from the government.

From yourself and your fellow taxpayers.

[JohnnyRingo]

17. K & F'n R!

I know too many Sues and her male counterparts.
Their excuse is as universal as it is lame: "I earned that!". Everyone else is apparently a freeloader.

Thanx for posting.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

18. love this toon!

perfect!

[awoke_in_2003]

19. Now that I can see it

(firewall at work blocked it) I know far too many Sues.

[Rider3]

20. Sad but true

And this happens more often than we can ever know. Still, their ignorance amazes me.

[Boom Sound 416]

21. I know Peggy Sue got married

[Beartracks]

22. Tea Partiers would say

Tea Partiers would justify this by saying she didn't take government assistance; she was just getting money that was "rightfully hers!" Anyway, conservatives are capable of amazing displays of hypocrisy and/or disconnect.

23. My SIL.

She has never indicated that she is actually an official teabagger, but her sentiments are pure TP. She sent out a Christmas "newsletter" that included a rant about the evil "Obummer" and the terrible things his socialist government has done, followed by another rant about how the government isn't doing enough for her - Social Security COL wasn't raised enough; Medicare copays too high, etc. And this is a woman with a Master's degree. Drinking that rancid tea is making them all stupid. How can you bitch about socialism in the same breath where you're whining about not getting enough government benefits?

[1StrongBlackMan]

24. I went to grad school and have worked with ...

plenty of Sues ... every one of them benefited from subsidized tuition and/or worked for governmental agencies.

[LeftyMom]

28. They think somebody else is getting all the good stuff that they deserve. Three guesses who.

[Politicalboi]

26. Unmarried Sue got pregnant?

I have a gay brother who hates liberals, but would be the first in line for "freebies".

[LeftyMom]

27. I've got one of those in the family. He's drawing a pension from a government job, naturally.

He's also one of those super oppressed white guys who think women and POCs get free everything, there's a lot of overlap there in my observation.

[llmart]

29. Unfortunately I have come in contact with way too many of them.

Both genders.
