Thank You For Your Service Stephen Hill
I thank and support Stephen Hill. I also thank and support – all United States military members who risk their lives for our country – without conditions.

I posit that the reason they point to this statistic is to offer further proof towards a longstanding conservative narrative that there are people in this country getting a free ride. That these people are the freeloaders that are taking advantage of the “productive class” in this country.
