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.
