Just where in the multicolored version of hell do you come out with
people living off poverty programs for cripples? You do realize there
are people trying to get off SSI, if that's what you're aiming at, and
quite frankly, I think you, Mr. I think I'm better than everyone else,
better damn well get a grip, and watch what you say, as there are some
people who because of different sircumstances can't get off your
socalled poverty program.
