    Just heard on Morning Joe (MSNBC) Time magazine's Editor talk about how the tax cut for the rich, including Mitt Romney, is "welfare." Use of this pejorative shows her attitude and bias.

    I've also seen Time magazine refer to home mortgage intrest deduction as "welfare for the rich." What a crazy view of the world.

    I've always believed that welfare is something that was never yours and that is given by the government.

    By Time's deffinition, anything you earn that you get to keep is welfare. So if you pay $100,000 in taxes, and a tax cut reduces your bill to $99,000, you just recidved $1,000 in welfare. What a warped perspective.

    They couldn't possibly staff Morning Joe with less intelligent hosts and guests. A bunch of mental midgets and liars.
