Oh, and when he plays golf, he likes to play on courses paid for and
maintained by the taxpayers.

Wow, you've really got it in for 'Herring'. Are you saying that being

they have them where you live?



D'oh.

You aren't a Loogy doppelganger, are you? You come across here just as
stupid as he is. I think you are about ready for the filter dumpster.

No, dummy, I am not claiming being a soldier or a teacher is bad. I
have great respect for teachers.

I have no respect, though, for turds like Herring who spend their
entire life sucking on the taxpayers' teat and then whine about their
misconceptions regarding socialism.

Too subtle for you, right?


Blazer,

You apparently are relatively new here. Allow me to clarify Harry's
statements a bit.

JohnH was drafted into the Army but continued his education leading to a
commission. He served honorably as a career Army officer including at
least one tour (maybe more) in Vietnam.

As you are probably aware the pay scale in the military isn't the
highest in the world. Certainly nowhere near the pay rates for even
semi-skilled union workers in the auto industry. However, JohnH chose
to make the military a career. Someone has to do it.

When you retire from the military after a minimum of 20 years, you
receive a small pension plus certain lifetime benefits for health care
and use of military facilities, including recreational activities such
as military owned golf courses, etc. Not too different from benefits
earned by retired union workers.

However, in Harry's mind people like JohnH who earned these benefits
while earning much less than his civilian counterparts, "spend their
entire life sucking on the taxpayers' teat.

Harry never served in the military.


Hopefully this helps you understand Harry a little more.

A has nothing to do with B or C.

Herring whines about socialism and "freeloaders" sucking on the
taxpayers' teat, and for about his entire working life, he has done the
same. And now that he is retired, he still is sucking on the government
teat.

It's not the government pay or pension Herring got or gets I find
offensive. It's the right-wing hypocrisy.

It's just more right-wingnut hypocrisy.
