Jason Greenslate, a native of La Jolla, California, doesn't want to work (at least, he doesn't want a full time job or a real job). He qualified for financial assistance and received an EBT/SNAP card ($200 / month). According to him, he eats sushi almost every day (and lobster when it's on sale) and drinks coconut water (purchased in the gourmet section of the local food mart), courtesy of the American taxpayer.
He has no fixed address, staying with family members, friends, or girls he dates. When this lazy bum first appears on screen, he pulls up in a Cadillac Escalade (or some sort of nice SUV).
The interviewer asks him whether he gets up early to 'catch the waves' on the beach, or whether he's a late riser. Greenslate responds that he's a 'later in the afternoon kind of guy' (not an early bird); that's when he starts drinking and trying to pick up girls ('macking on chicks', I believe was the term he used).
During the interview, he says his 'life is going great', and he's living the "rat life" (Ratt Life is the name of his musical band), and "all paid by our wonderful tax dollars".
When asked by the interviewer if he ever plans on becoming responsible or getting a real job, Greenslate replies "that's not the direction I'm going right now". He says his job is "making sure everything is rolling smoothly, the sun is up and girls are out, and to get out with the boys and have a good time."
What shocked me (as well as the interviewer), was not was he was doing (after all, he's only one of millions that gets welfare, many of them, like him, undeservingly) so much as he was completely unashamed, almost flippant, about being on welfare and getting food stamps, when he was perfectly capable of working.
That is pretty ghetto.
To his credit, he does not appear violent or criminal (as many ghetto people are); he's mainly just an ass. And he was partly educated (he apparently attended San Diego State University, and was studying to be a recording engineer). But still, his attitude and behavior is pretty shameless. The rest of us have to bust our hump in order to support him and others like him. That's pretty messed up. Our politicians could put a stop to this but they don't (on the contrary, they EXPAND welfare). What happens when the money runs out?
Eff all these stupid liberal politicians, and eff all these ghetto bums.
Surf bum Jason Greenslate, living the RattLife - Gnome Sayin'?
