The law of unintended consequences...

Republicans are often labeled as being heartless by those on the left, because we believe that hard work should be rewarded, and conversely, that if you choose not to work, it should be hard for you. By contrast, the left likes to take from the hard-working (via high tax rates) and give to those who do not work as hard (in the form of welfare, food stamps, long-term unemployment benefits, etc.). In the grand scheme of things, Republicans feel that our approach is better for society because it creates a condition where the most working-age people are productive, while the left's approach encourages more working age people into the unemployed ranks.

As if the Republicans need yet another case study to demonstrate that they are right in this regard...we have the following loser, who apparently so thrilled by Obama's extension of unemployment benefits, thought that it sounded like a good opportunity to sit on his duff for a little while...there was only one problem...how to get fired?...read on for some comedy gold...
