No kidding! Those words do capture an "attitude" which seems to be highly effective on a lot of the softies in the US. Though it doesn't just come from the guys behind the 7-11 counter.
It comes from the "non-profits" that puts the most pathetic images imaginable in front of your face and says "
Give me your hard earned money you huge american cash cow."
It comes from the people that wait at intersections, holding cardboard signs, get in your face and says "
Give me your hard earned money you huge american cash cow."
And yesterday, it came to my door in the form of some funky knappy 20 year old telling me "
Give me your hard earned money you huge american cash cow." . . ..his actual words were; "buy these magazine supscriptions . . ."because I need to make money . . ."because I can't serve my country in the military . .. "because, I already have two convictions on my record"
How's that for "
Give me your hard earned money you huge american cash cow."(?)
It's one thing to try to leverage guilt, but it crosses a line when they pull out the overbearing self-deserving BS; especially when underlined with a veiled threat.
