It appears that the liberal plan of getting the nation on welfare in order to keep voting democrat. Very sad that we have come this far because now the problem will only get worse. These welfare recipients will pass that knowledge to their many, many children who will be raised expecting government handouts. Census figures show more than one-third of Americans receiving welfare benefits http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/08/29/census-figures-show-more-than-one-third-americans-receiving-welfare-benefits/
This is the reason liberalism is destroying our nation, they encourage Americans to suck from the government teat, it furthers their religious liberal ideology. Watch the video below, it shows exactly what liberal government addiction breeds: [video=youtube;RBqjZ0KZCa0]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBqjZ0KZCa0[/video]
That means that the democrats are automatically buying one third of the votes in the country. IMO if you are taking welfare, you shouldnt be allowed to vote.
What that woman with 15 kids need is for welfare to pay to have here tubes tied!!!!!!!! Should have happened years ago.
So right you are. Sadly, there are millions of people just like her in America. How could any clear thinking American think that supporting people like her helps our nation? These 15 children are doomed, and more than likely will end up being drug addicted criminals. We can blame liberals for this, it is their way of getting votes and support. I mean really, most dogs never bite the hand that feeds them
We should consider it an honor, a privilege -- and a duty to support those on welfare. Ancestors of welfare recipients built America for us to enjoy. It is an honor to reward descendants with a generous retirement salary. Gracias
If you are being facetious my apologies, if not, tell us how people like her help our nation? This is the most destructive social change liberalism has plagued our nation with, and it will be it's downfall. Propagating a dependent illiterate nation is the side affect that liberals never took into account, or maybe they did and just didn't care, as long as they get that vote and support from those sucking off the system
Welfare goes back to Ancient Athens who had an allowance for Citizens found unfit as adults equal to a third a freeman workers wage after examination by a city official. In England our mother nation they provided for the needy with special homes, money and other support they deemed worthy infirmed. All the Colonies also made provisions for the infirm, orphans and widows with children to some degree. So there is nothing wrong with Welfare I'm on Traditional Medicaid and am likely to get SSI on appeal, my medical evidence is serious. And I get Food Stamps and a government paid basic phone. I'm very grateful let me add for this help, I know taxpayers are funding this. My issues are two and yes I'm a critic in spots: 1. There is no partial benefit if you can work part-time you can't get partial benefits, with an assumption you work, other nations have some options so its all or nothing in some benefit areas. 2. It can be to generous no one here seems to think someone who needs help shouldn't get it but it should not be better than working an average lower paying job, unless your deemed unable to be employed at all one should be helped for a fair amount of time based on ones situation.
Liberals preach that it is an honor and a privilege to import third world people, support them with welfare, as long as they vote for liberals in elections. If you cannot see the moronic failure/economic collapse that liberals assure, you are smoking something that clouds your judgement
I dont have a problem when people need help; welfare, food stamp, and sec. 8 housing. What I have a big issue is when people leach off the system and make no attempt to get off it, such as no looking or getting a job. If youre on a welfare and havent found ANY type of job in five years, youre not looking. - - - Updated - - - They should throw that women in jail for child endangerment and neglect.
Is it liberals, or the wealthy elite? Nafta, Gatt, and all of the self destructive trade laws that are the cause of the death of the middle class were voted on, and approved by both Dems, and Reps. Why, because they lower the cost of domestic labor. The only thing I don't get is why the trade unions don't pull their funding from a party that openly fights to lower the wages of their workers.
Welfare was suppose to be a safety net, and now it has become a lifestyle, all brought to us by liberals
Michael Tanner is sold to the highest bidder. Workers can't meet their basic necessities even after working 40 hours. What does that mean? It means that although the monied elites that own you and me are enjoying the most lucrative share of income in history, they pay their workers not even enough to make ends meet. So what do we see? Lickspittle houseboys stomping on unions and any governmental program designed to help people make ends meet and have a voice in the outcome of their productive efforts. RWAs are brainwashed into believing that 'market forces' oppose labor unions, livable wages with benefits and fair salaries. That's b.c RWAs do what they are told and dance the dance that their owners call. "The claim that government is free to reduce or cut off welfare and other forms of support for people in economic need is totally mistaken. Welfare is not a gift, nor is it, despite frequent assertions, a transfer from those who earn a living to those who are not. Welfare is rather an obligation from society – and from those who are working- to those who have been deprived of work and the opportunity to earn a living. If we want to speak of transfers, it would be more accurate to say that those with a secure place in the economic system are enjoying a transfer of wealth from those who have been excluded from the economic system. Welfare then is partial compensation for a deprivation of livelihood that allows others to work." -- Charles Reich Also, don't look at the gov. largesse of tax breaks, gov. contracts, and unenforced regulations inuring to the benefit of the rich and powerful crooks currently running our economy. No, that would be too easy. Let's pile on the poor. I swear, the moral cowards in this country are really coming into their own.
There's only on 'e' in the word 'judgment' cowboy. The rest of your post is as accurate as your spelling.
Since we give foreign aid to 143 countries, including Russia and China, the least we can do is to give our own citizens a few bucks per month. Why should we spend it all on the Israelis, Iraqis, Afghans, Egyptians, Russians, and Chinese?
You believe a 1/3 of America falls into this category? This is the problem with the welfare system in the US. Too many things constitute being worthy of welfare. Capable-bodied people get plenty of welfare in this country. I don't feel like working, and I therefore qualify for hand outs is acceptable. This isn't good. A country where everyone is a taker doesn't work.
It's always interesting to see people pointing fingers at blacks who are on welfare while ignoring the far greater problem of illegal aliens running off with millions of dollars in welfare benefits. A case in point: http://www.teaparty.org/two-illegal-immigrants-sentenced-1-4-million-food-stamp-fraud-35576/
I agree that welfare is currently being abused by the democrats for political gains. This type of thing should really be handled by the churches, and private charities, not government. However, the real issue here is that there is no economic opportunity.
Is that supposed to make sense. The American Dream and the Democrat Dream are quite different. The Democrat Dream of dropping out of school at 13, having fifteen kids, being on welfare for life is really not compatible with the American Dream which involves the drudgery of work. You know, that four-letter word from which the Democrats promise to free people. The American Dream is alive and well for those who know the difference between a dream and a hallucination. Years ago a woman was on television talking about getting expensive fertility treatments paid for by the taxpayers. She had five children and had never worked and when asked how she would support more kids she said, "God will provide." My immediate thought was that if a god would provide I wouldn't have to. He isn't doing his part.
I think that liberals were exposed to too many of those old National Geographic magazines they found in grannies attic. The one with all those photos of 'native folk' standing around barefoot, in front of those dilapidated huts, with babies on their hip and those boobies hangin' out..( I got that one from a thread about the 'joys of Boulder Colo.' The poster, a devout liberal, seemed particularly impressed with a Boulder ordinance that allows women to go bare breasted) anyway, They were young and impressionable and think that that was how folks are supposed to live. One step above gorillas and waiting for those Care packages to arrive.
No, it's liberals. Trade unions are organized crime and Democrats are their accomplices. They both prey on taxpayers, businesses, and working people.
No the least we can do is not construct giant roadblocks to self reliance. Liberals completely breed personal responsibility out of their welfare recipients, just listen to the words this sprog factory has for you. "somebody needs to pay for all my children; somebody needs to be help accountable" --Citizen of the permanent underclass, generalization welfare case, and Obama 2016 voter.
