Many people  receive payments from the government including  members of Congress who get about $175,000 per year for  working an average of 139 days.    Fortunately, Congress is a millionaires boys club and accepting this paltry sum of money from the government  has not weakened their moral fibre.  In fact, Congress is so concerned about the corrupting  influence of  money that they work very hard to insure that  the working poor, disabled and elderly get the  absolute minimum of   assistance so as to to insure their moral  integrity.

“Conservatives say if you don't give the rich more money, they will lose their incentive to invest. As for the poor, they tell us they've lost all incentive because we've given them too much money.”
