Why should they when the can get more in assistance than working in a low paying job?
Would most work at a job that pays 12,000.00 a year or get government assistance that pays 32,000.00 a year?

Why work when you can elect Democrats and get free stuff? It makes sense.

We found who the 47% Romney trashed really are...

America's safety net is below almost every other industrialized country in every measure. America more closely resembles the likes of Mexico than a modern First World industrialized nation.

We heard the ignorant rant of Mitt Romney and his 47%...

If there is a citizenry on this planet that does NOT have an entitlement mentality, it is the American people. American workers receive less benefits, paid leave, health care and take less vacation time than any other people. American workers take pride in the quality of their work and their work ethic.

What Romney said is a gross insult and reveals a dangerous mindset. He reeks of contempt for middle class working people and the poor.

Who are the 47%?

Federal budget and Census data show that, in 2010, 91 percent of the benefit dollars from entitlement and other mandatory programs went to the elderly (people 65 and over), the seriously disabled, and members of working households. People who are neither elderly nor disabled — and do not live in a working household — received only 9 percent of the benefits.

Moreover, the vast bulk of that 9 percent goes for medical care, unemployment insurance benefits (which individuals must have a significant work history to receive), Social Security survivor benefits for the children and spouses of deceased workers, and Social Security benefits for retirees between ages 62 and 64. Seven out of the 9 percentage points go for one of these four purposes.

80 percent of the workforce has seen their wages decline in real terms over the last quarter-century, and the average household has seen 40 percent of its wealth disappear during the Great Recession. Through it all, families never asked for a handout from anyone, especially Washington. They were left to go on their own, working harder, squeezing nickels, and taking care of themselves. But their economic boats have been taking on water for years, and now the crisis has swamped millions of middle class families. ref ref

Maybe you should look at the latest polls to find out about the work ethic in the US.

"Nearly four in 10 Americans, or 92 million, are not in the labor force and now there’s a reason why: They have simply given up and don’t want to work.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the largest group of people not in the labor force are those who don’t want a job, a remarkable statement on the nation’s work ethic. The federal job counter said that 85.9 million adults last month didn’t want a job, or 93 percent of all adults not in the labor force.

APew Research Center analysisout Friday dug a bit deeper to find out who those people are. Many are younger Americans who seem far less interested it landing a job than previous generations, possibly discouraged by the lack of good-paying jobs.

“Women are more likely than men to say they don’t want a job, although the gap has been narrowing — especially since the Great Recession. Last month, 28.5 percent of men said they didn’t want a job, up from 23.9 percent in October 2000 and 25.2 percent in October 2008. For women, the share saying they didn’t want a job hovered around 38 percent throughout the 2000s but began creeping up in 2010, reaching 40.2 percent last month,” said the Pew analysis."

So? Some 86 million don't want to work. So what? As a percentage of the population, that's not much higher than before Obama became president. And given we're in the age of baby boomers hitting retirement age, where roughly three times as many seniors are retiring than before 2008, that's not exactly a surprise.

Do you have a comment in there?

People that have given up, and are not looking for work.....are what's called "retired", and shouldn't be counted.

If you've given up, you're either on disability, found a sugar daddy or sugar mama, or you've just decided to tighhten your belts and let someone sit on the couch all day, or take care of the kids.

nothing will ever be worse than a dumb ass obama supporter. even the creators of obamacare think yall are stupid.

That's ok, I don't expect a Bush voter to know they are even dumber than the dumbest Obama voter. That's testament to how ignorant Bush voters are.

pull your back in place with that spin, you're an imbecile you support a lie and fail policies of obama. that's the plain simple fact.

Spits a Bush voter.

What's so funny? shouldn't you be pissed because the creators of obamacare called you stupid for supporting what they created?
You are so fucking stupid you can't grasp the insult of what was said about you.

Who knows what you're rambling about now, Bush voter? I didn't vote for Obama because of healthcare. I voted for him due to the likelihood that the president elected in 2008 would be the one nominating a Supreme Court justice. And Obama exceeded my expectations by nominating not one, but two Liberal justices.

You are a dumb ass an imbecile if you don't know what I am talking about. No wait you're just a pathetic liar

[SmarterThanTheAverageBear]

Every day on this board we seem to have threads about 'how stupid are libs?', 'dimbocrats', 'typical liberal stupidity'....you know the drill.

The strange thing is, I don't see a lot of posts claiming the opposite. Some comments, sure, but I think most people will agree that there are far, far more posts labelling liberalism as being in some way stupid, a mental illness etc than there are posts about conservatism claiming the same superiority.

I don't get this at all - I see no link between political views and intelligence. I've met some brilliant socialists, a couple of brilliant fascists, and everything in between. I have met enough painfully stupid liberals and painfully stupid conservatives that I don't think either side are in too great a position to start claiming a monopoly on smarts.

Isn't claiming 'liberalism is a mental illness' the kind of Catch 22 comment that only an intellectual dwarf could assume?

Or is there a reason that some conservatives believe they are intellectually superior?

Oh shut up, go read ANY RDean thread, as one example, and you will see a liberal claiming conservatives are stupid.

And guess what? Both views are wrong. There are smart and dumb liberals and smart and dumb conservatives.

Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

Or is there a reason that some conservatives believe they are intellectually superior?

To the last question, yes there is.

Very often it's a lot of bravado due to an intellectual inferiority complex simply because many (but certainly not all) conservatives frequently eschew (look it up, cons) and mock formal education and expertise in favor of gut feelings (see the presidency of G. W. Bush) and common sense intuition (often wrong compared to a careful analysis of the evidence).

You see, if you frequently rely on a gut feelings, there's a tendency to overemphasize the times you were right while minimizing the times you were dead wrong. This is how people who believe in astrology in general tend to get fooled by the occasional correct general horoscope reading while simply dismissing all the times it was way off the mark.

Aside from what I just stated, the simple fact is that ALL people tend to give too much credence and value to their opinions under almost all circumstances. The key is whether or not people are open to changing their view (and willing to change their views, as well) when presented with enough evidence to call their assumptions into serious question. Educated people are more willing to do so. Less educated people are more likely to dismiss other information and careful analysis when it doesn't support their own opinions.

Well sure. You can just add young people sponging off their parents to the list.

Maybe they think they can just wait it out till things get easy again. And that'll be a mistake.

The best thing they can do is figure out what they'd love to do. Become a doctor, lawyer, whatever...and then find some entry level job with a Dr or Lawyer's office, which are out there...then go to school while they've got their feet in the door.

But that takes parents who put parenting ahead of their friendships with their children.

This girl I work with, today, not 10 minutes ago, was complaining about her 19 year old who only wants to play video games. I told her to make him join the military, and she said "Gavin doesn't believe in the miltary"........ughhhh......it's that work ethic thing

Did you mean "Gruber," Bush Voter? Gurber is the sound coming from your mouth when you speak while blowing your boyfriend.

Every day on this board we seem to have threads about 'how stupid are libs?', 'dimbocrats', 'typical liberal stupidity'....you know the drill.

The strange thing is, I don't see a lot of posts claiming the opposite. Some comments, sure, but I think most people will agree that there are far, far more posts labelling liberalism as being in some way stupid, a mental illness etc than there are posts about conservatism claiming the same superiority.

I don't get this at all - I see no link between political views and intelligence. I've met some brilliant socialists, a couple of brilliant fascists, and everything in between. I have met enough painfully stupid liberals and painfully stupid conservatives that I don't think either side are in too great a position to start claiming a monopoly on smarts.

Isn't claiming 'liberalism is a mental illness' the kind of Catch 22 comment that only an intellectual dwarf could assume?

Or is there a reason that some conservatives believe they are intellectually superior?

I have seen more than my fair share of threads and comments about how stupid conservatives are on these boards. If you want a truly great example in my opinion of how liberals feel about not just Republicans but the public in general look no farther than comments of Jonathan Gruber. Being liberal or conservative does not make you stupid saying and doing stupid stuff makes you stupid.

Who knows what you're rambling about now, Bush voter? I didn't vote for Obama because of healthcare. I voted for him due to the likelihood that the president elected in 2008 would be the one nominating a Supreme Court justice. And Obama exceeded my expectations by nominating not one, but two Liberal justices.

You are a dumb ass an imbecile if you don't know what I am talking about. No wait you're just a pathetic liar

Even worse than that is the lowly Bush voter. Know any?

There is nothing worse than being called stupid by people who created something that you support.
NOTHING

Well obviously, as a Bush voter, you're too stupid to know there is. Of course, that is being a Bush voter.

Whatever only a total blooming idiot would support a lie, and liar of the year.
Gurber said you are stupid and I agree.

No, he said the American voter is stupid, and they are.

You can't blame him if you jumped in front of his generalized insult.

Furthermore...he's right.

When I think of stupid Republicans, I think of Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann, and Louie Gohmert.

That whole Louie Gohmert thing is surprising, because he's well educated. He's most likely acting dumb so he doesn't threaten his average constituant.

Conservatives aren't stupid by nature...Tea Partiers are.

Yeah..."F" it...you know what?...you're right.

But until I meet an intelligent Tea Partier in real life, I'll stick with the generalization

Holy shit! Gruber is the new USMB b nutter super hero! The funny thing is that if one is intelligent enough to pull back the layers of what he actually said......one isn't insulted by it.

Idiots like to think that his primary point was that liberal voters are stupid. Well...liberal voters didn't need to be convinced of the benefits of universal health care and liberal voters don't get freaked out by paying taxes. He was referring to nutjob idiot cons. The only people who think the dude was talking about them and calling them stupid.....are.....oddly enough.......right.
