I was listening to your first hour monologue, and you were talking about how they\u2019re trying to direct welfare to the middle class. Well it\u2019s already happening here in Pennsylvania. My mother called me about two, three weeks ago, she said, &#8216;Oh, there\u2019s something in the Times, you know, I think you qualify for heating assistance.\u2019 And I went, &#8216;What?\u2019 I was a bit offended, but then I got something in a coupon circular &#8212; we\u2019re advertising this now &#8212; that people in our income bracket, which is actually almost $60,000 a year, now qualify for help with our heating. And I was just dumbfounded.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125115.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"204\" height=\"210\" class=\"alignright\"\/>RUSH: Well, not only that, if you made $85,000 a year, your children up to age 30 would be qualified for medical care under the recently signed into act S-CHIP program. You know what, you make $60 grand, and she\u2019s insulted that she\u2019s being hit on by heating and oil assistance circulars.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: And I\u2019m thinking I\u2019m having kind of a split personality now. Do I subsidize myself? <\/p>\n<p>RUSH: That\u2019s up to you. I\u2019d send the thing back with no postage on it so that they have to pay it.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I\u2019m thinking I\u2019d like to have a, thank you, I\u2019ll take care of myself income tax credit &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I\u2019m so proud of you. I have to congratulate you, $60,000, and she thinks that she\u2019s rich. She thinks that she\u2019s above and doesn\u2019t need these programs. I love you for that. What I actually said was they want to force people into welfare by causing them to lose their jobs, middle and upper class people.
