This man NEEDS your help!

[TLK Valentine]

How do you feel about Master Obama and Michelle's frequent multi-million dollar vacations?

I have no problem with employed people taking vacations.... why, do you?

 

[NightHawkeye]

The two-sidedness from the right wingers here who supported Zimmerman during the trial is beyond belief. Here you have people railing against the poor who receive benefits for living "lavish lifestyles" on the taxpayers dime, but will support Zimmy's use of $100 a month for vacation when he has no visible means of income. They won't even question where that money is coming from!

LOL ... the need for those on the left to "control" Zimmerman's freedom and constrain him from exercising his inherent rights without interference is becoming increasingly apparent.

 

[MachZer0]

Clue me in here...

Is this backtracking on your part of are you moving the goalposts, for it was YOU who said it was either a $1200 once a year vacation or 2 $600 vacations a year.

I said it could have been. That's the way such financial disclosures work. It only means that over the last year he spent $1200 on vacations

And remember, not that it's convenient, the sale of the painting didn't come into any of the monetary figures. That cash kinda just "disappeared"...

Disappeared according to whom?

Remember this line next time the subject of "welfare recipients" or benefits to the unemployed in the form of insurance comes up, okay? As in waiting for other questions I've asked you, I won't be holding my breath for your answer.

 

[MachZer0]

Good for them, they can afford it (and for the sake of staying on topic DO NOT get into the "taxpayer expense" crap). Zimmy is nowhere near the income of the President, and if MachZer0 is, then bully for him. THE point here, in case you missed it (as you seem to miss other things I write to you) is that Zimmerman HAS NO INCOME! How does that support a vacation at ANY cost?

The vacation, as I said, could have been paid out of any source of finances available to him.

 

[MachZer0]

No wonder he's claiming poverty



As good a reason to do any until after the divorce -- not that anything's going to be done then, either.



Still, it shows that Zimmerman was taking a vacation without a job to take it from -- nice work if you can get it...

Just as Zimmerman has no need how we finance our vacations, we have no need to know how he finances his

"Could have been." This is projection on your part.

Disappeared according to whom?

The court affidavit mentioned in the OP.

“It is not clear what happened to any money he earned from the sale of a painting on eBay in December. The winning bid was $100,000. There is no mention of it in his affidavit.”

Why should we care how he financed his vacation?

You proved yourself wrong

Frankly I don't give a rat's rear end, just as I don't give a crap about how anyone goes about vacationing. But those of you who actually DID lend financial support to his defense (and I recall there being a few here who at least said they did) might care.

“It is not clear what happened to any money he earned from the sale of a painting on eBay in December. The winning bid was $100,000"

Now since you seem to be the know-it-all guru in regards to this, please feel free to clarify. With citations of course.

TWO vacations/year at $600 each!?

Man... It must be nice to be a bum with no job or income.

It's a line item on a statement. I seriously doubt the guy is taking a $100 vacation every month.

 

[stamperben]

It's a line item on a statement. I seriously doubt the guy is taking a $100 vacation every month.

So then what is it? A $200 vacation every other month? A quarterly vacation at $300? 2 a year at $600? Or maybe that $1200 a year blowout vacation? For a man with no job or visible income (aside from the $100,000 sale of a painting that no one knows where that money went) one wonders what the outcry would be if Joe or Jane Blow who's on welfare went on these vacations like Zimmy's.

You make it sound like he's going to the ritz carlton or something.

Sheesh. We've taken day trips that have cost $200.

And no, as a person who is against welfare being a lifelong subsidy, I have no problems with people on welfare taking vacations, provided they are within their means. Like, I'd love to take my kids to Disney World and all, but I know that doing so puts us in debt even more, so we don't. Responsibility is the key context here.

There being no mention of it does not mean it "disappeared". Money gets spent

What difference does it make?

[theophilus777]

I defended his actions, and I still would.

I don't see how him having financial problems has anything to do with what happened. Nor do I see how defending him defending himself means I have to now give him money.

IOW - there's no relation between the two.

Ok, but that's only because you are sane.
