Other than druggies or opportunists with big mouths and no sense of embarrassment, who else fits into this category?

Everyone who depends on a government check for their existence.

People who have little or no self-control or exercise personal responsibility for themselves or their children.

Anyone who thinks they know better what to do with what's mine than I do.

IBM depends on a government check.
GE depends on a government check.
The answer is too general.

The time wasted on hating others for any reason (especially wealth) could be better used in planning, "acting" (to attain) and constant evaluation of why ones own efforts are failing or successful.

It is not the governments job to create jobs but to referee the battle between management and labor and "line their own pockets" !

This should give one a hint on where the focus should be ! Look in the mirror and try to stay out of jail.

What bullshit. If you have an argument to make, make it. But don't preface your opinions with a lot of hypothetical nonsense.
I'm a liberal.
I understand, just like most liberals do, that the best social program of all is a healthy, vibrant economy.

I just wish the fucking conservatives would let the government pass some economic stimulus--like extending the payroll tax cut--so that we could get some job creation going. Instead, the Republicans are doing everything they can to suppress growth because they know that that's the only way they'll win the White House next year, what with the clown car of candidates they have running.
