    HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!! I've cursed so loudly, my dog jumped off the couch, and hid!:mad: This is why America is LONG overdue for a revolution!! These parasites should be either deported to some nuclear test island, or exterminated! And I've pointed out here recently that in FL, when someone signs up for this shit, they are automatically registered to vote.:mad: :mad: Hmmmm! Wonder which political party loves that? Good job Onazi! You communist son of a bitch! Maybe I should stop paying my fucking taxes!!!:mad: :mad: :mad: I'm feeling sick to my stomach now. The country I love, fought for, and bled for is gone.:( :mad:
     
  4. They make it sound like a bad thing that WalMart capitalizes on the Public Sector by having employees that get food stamps and medicaid.. wtf? Our tax dollars are subsidizing those lower prices in WalMart stores, at least we get something back for our tax monies...

    The Public Sector has interjected itself in the employer-employee relationship to fix what never needed fixing. Public Sector shit is less efficient than the original scheme so we are all worse off.. Does this surprise anybody that has ever listened to a Democrat talk?
     
  5. Here's some interesting info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloward–Piven_strategy

    Socialism overlooks an important notion; the best computers on the planet are the ones between everybody's ears. When a person has to work for what they get they employ those computers. When they live on welfare their computers pretty muchly shut down. The less computing talent we have going for us collectively the worse things get because all systems of things tend to go to a lower order of organization unless there is an input of intelligence + energy. Check out Detroit for an example.
     
  6. So how much of the federal budget is going to the non-working poor? 40%?
    20%? Do any of you ignorant, hyper-ventilating, deluded, right wing whackos have any idea? Or are you flipping out based on your usual imagined and inflated problems that aren't really problems?

    What percent of those non-working poor are elderly and/or mentally and physically incapacitated? Any idea? No? Didn't think so.

    The complete answer can be found in the following article:
    How Much Do We Spend on the Nonworking Poor?
    http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2012/02/how-much-do-we-spend-nonworking-poor

    In summary the following percentage of the federal budget is spent on the non-working poor - "That's 12 percent of all federal welfare spending and about 6 percent of the whole federal budget."

    The article ends with the same question that can be asked here - Is that too much? I guess you have to decide for yourself.
     
  9. very good but you forgot this part...




    ........" Once you account for the fact that some of these program dollars go to the working poor, you end up with CBPP's estimate of 10 percent, or about 5 percent of the whole federal budget."


    So 5% of the budget is going toward feeding people who don't work.

    Now, these people who don't work. Why don't they?

    And what could be worse than feeding people?! The horror!! What would Jesus think?

    We could get a bunch of missiles with that money.
