Just in case you need a simple explanation of the basic mindset currently working in the MAGA controlled GOP:

Damn these web sites .... always rerouting to sell some crap instead of what you originally see. Hopefully this will set things straight:

Yep! I had to copy and paste the image. I'll double check links in the future.

Okay, what's the point? Seems to me that Lucky Ducky was ass fucking society by being a moocher...

Looks like the rich guy is upset about social security and the programs,

Gotcha!
That one word says I'm right in my assessment of how the comic is framing this--intentional or not.

Jeezus! I hope you're joking. If not, then you are (or would like to be) PRECISELY what the comic is high lighting.

No. You're just doing the usual intellectual myopia that the neocon/teabagger/fibbertarian/MAGA/Alt-Right set has been using to justify carrying water for those who use them as doormats.
THINK, MAN, THINK! What is Lucky Duck getting in his "mooching" and "ass fucking" (your words) that is SO detrimental to society? How is that affecting the wealthy lifestyle of the Hound character that is so detrimental.
It won't kill you to admit that on some points the "left" is correct and you are wrong.

What the comic does, most likely unintentionally, is make Lucky Ducky out to be taking advantage of society. His "Gotcha" remark says it all.
"I'm (deliberately) poor so I barely pay taxes! Gotcha!" Says Lucky Ducky only consumes from society, and gives nothing in return.
"Unemployment benefits! Gotcha!" Says Lucky Ducky doesn't work or contribute to society
Then Lucky Ducky who has no health insurance dies (he could have in any case) and society pays for his burial. Again, Lucky Ducky was just taking from society while giving nothing in return.
Lucky Ducky is a mooch and should be ridiculed and despised for not contributing.
If the rich guy wanted to give Lucky Ducky some money, that's fine, but if government is forcing him to and he sees that Lucky Ducky isn't bothering to reciprocate and make an effort to pay that back to society, he has every right to be angry at Lucky Ducky.

MAGA isn't a control. Redefinition fallacy.
Mooching is not correct.
Communism and fascism is not correct.
It produces nothing. It is based on theft.
DON'T TRY TO JUSTIFY THEFT OF WEALTH!

Mooching is exactly correct:
mooch
[mo͞oCH]
verb
mooching (present participle)
- NORTH AMERICAN ENGLISH
informal: ask for or obtain (something) without paying for it

Nothing correct about mooching, which he is trying to justify.

In the sense that mooching is wrong to do, that is unjustifiable.
That's one of the big problems in the US today: People who have a sense of entitlement without doing anything to deserve it.

That it is. It is all based on theft. All forms of socialism are.

Of course you do, Terry. You've gone full MAGAt and have no concern about the plight of sailors nor their families.
Has your family dumped you? Is that why you are so cold, bitter and hateful Americans less fortunate than you?
Seems to me that your post proves the point that was being made.
