ALL I CAN SAY IS “AMAZING”......
See if you don’t agree.
Friday, January 05, 2007
AH, YES…...LET’S MAKE THE UNITED STATES MORE LIKE EUROPE.
You hear the cries all the time, don’t you? The United States is so individualistic, so capitalist, so selfish….....if only we would soften the edges a bit; if only we’d move over toward the “European model” of caring for people who aren’t as capable as the rest of us.
Of course, some of us recognize that if money were somehow available to keep us from feeling any pinch when we didn’t go to work every day, we might actually be tempted to “pamper” ourselves a bit when we aren’t feeling in tip-top shape. No? Who hasn’t felt the desire to stay home and do the “important things”, rather than schlep off to the office to do what we have to in order to bring home the paycheck? If you’re saying “Not me!”, I think you’re in a distinct minority.
Anyhow, now and then a story leaks out that epitomizes the problem…..
Régnier applied for and received the status of an invalid from Wallonia’s generous welfare authorities. He consequently receives a welfare check of over €1,000 a month. His three wives are all unemployed. Hence, they each get €800 in unemployment benefits. On top of this the family receives €4,000 in child allowances. This makes a grand total of more than €7,400 a month ($9,700 or £4,960) – all of it provided by Belgium’s taxpayers. All the money matters in the household are taken care of by Serge. His wives are only interested in children. They have told the press that they each hope to have another baby in 2007.

SENATOR BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA HAS AN INTERESTING PROBLEM…..
I mean, his name resembles the Western World’s #1 enemy, Osama bin Laden. It’s not just those who dislike Senator Obama who make the mistake, either.
Case in point?
