    But but thats different, that guy down the street with two kids who wakes up at 6 and goes to work every day doesn’t deserve that money for reasons I can’t articulate without sounding racist, But I deserve my check.

      Listen, I’m a hard working American and I come from hard working Americans. We built this country and we’re just having a hard time for the last couple of months but we work hard. That guy up the street, he’s needed “help” for years. That isn’t help, that’s a handout. He’s not trying. I can’t see any systemic reasons that things might be more difficult for those people, they just aren’t working as hard as us. I mean sure he goes to work but where is he working? Why doesn’t he just get a better job like I did?

      /s although I’m sure someone has said those exact words and meant it seriously.
