How much welfare do white people consume?

[KNB]

.

Wow, the hatred of white people by the Left is really kicking into overdrive recently.

Well, at least they're being honest, that's good. Especially the self-loathing.

.

Isn't it GREAT how they've gotten so bold and arrogant, the masks are coming off and the people see who they really are?

Yep, that's the beauty of freedom of speech.

Let it out. Feel free to show us who you are, folks.

You people are too stupid to just lose.

Yes, the standard partisan ideologue "you're just dumb" response.

Always a good sign.

Just a side topic of the "hot" debate right now. Anyone have any numbers on what % of total government welfare/handouts are consumed by white people? I live in the South, and I see the trailor parks all over the place, with people who don't work, get fraudulent disability claims, use food stamps; Oh, they're mostly white trailor parks. So, I was just curious.

Some say blacks were better off as slaves. Well, I see evidence all over the place that maybe whites were better off as slave-owners Because of lot of them sure aren't gonna do the work themselves.

Slave owners were a minority. Those trailer park trash you see are descendants of common laborers, not plantation owners.

That's if they could get a job that the slaves didn't do for free. I will point out that the first "Affirmative Action" initiatives as far as I can tell, were given to White people competing with "Free Blacks" for jobs. They got legislation passed that limited what "Free Blacks" could do.

"“So Cheapened the White Man’s Labor”: White Artisans Contest the Labor of Black Workers, 1838

While the numbers of free blacks remained small in the South through the mid-nineteenth century, their presence aroused great anxiety among whites. Legislatures passed laws limiting African-American political and social rights. Non-slaveholding whites often viewed free black labor as competition, especially in urban areas where tensions between the two groups sometimes ran high. In 1838, J. J. Flournoy, a white Georgian artisan, wrote this letter to the Athens Southern Banner complaining about the competition posed by black workers. While he noted in passing that the white majority of the poor should band together to elect representatives to ensure laws that would privilege white labor over black, he more forcefully appealed to a common “whiteness” among contractors and carpenters, proprietors and workers. "

"The right, then, gentlemen, you will no doubt candidly admit, of the white man to employment in preference to negroes, who must defer to us since they live well enough on plantations, cannot be considered impeachable by contractors. It is a right more virtual and indisputable than that of agrarianism. As masters of the polls in a majority, carrying all before them, I am surprised the poor do not elect faithful members to the Legislature, who will make it penal to prefer negro mechanic labor to white men’s. But of the premises as I have now laid them down, you will candidly judge for yourselves, and draw a conclusion with me, that white bricklayers and house joiners must henceforward have ample work and remuneration; and yourselves and other contractors will set the example, and pursue it for the future without deviation. Your respectfully "

Common sense. SURE the poor will always be with us, JESUS stated it....and he expected individuals to help them along...that IS what the churches and other organizations are for.

THIS government has taken that role over, (and NOT what the Founders wanted), and have made it difficult to get out of the cycle...and it's ALL nefarious coming from this government...it is ALL for their control over us.

It's a damn sight EVIL if you ask me.

So pressure corporations with record profits to raise wages across the country so that fewer people need public assistance.

If the money doesn't come from the public sector then it has to come from the private sector. Where else is everyone's money going to come from? Bitcoin? Space Cash? Yuan? What grand economic advice does the right-wing have for the world? "Get a job."

So where does the money come from? Public or private? You decide. YOU actually decide because you, like us, are the People of the United States. We the People are the government. Well, the right-wing isn't part of the People anymore because they sided with Cliven Bundy and Sean Hannity against the US Federal government, so any right-wing Republicans can just go back to wherever it is that you came from. It wasn't America. You're not Americans. You sided with a racist criminal against the laws of the United States. You threatened violence against your fellow countrymen over an issue that you knew nothing about. You deserve sympathy but not respect. Right-wing Conservative Republican voters, Bundy supporters, FOX News viewers, and anyone else who threatens violence against America should be given a choice:

get your heads out of your asses or get the fuck out of our country.

As a matter of fact, Alexis de Tocqueville had a lot to say about the modern day trailer trash. I just mentioned his writing in a Bundy topic.

From the same chapter I just quoted there:

The stream that the Indians had distinguished by the name of Ohio, or the Beautiful River, waters one of the most magnificent valleys which have ever been made the abode of man. Undulating lands extend upon both shores of the Ohio, whose soil affords inexhaustible treasures to the laborer; on either bank the air is equally wholesome and the climate mild, and each of them forms the extreme frontier of a vast state: that which follows the numerous windings of the Ohio upon the left is called Kentucky; that upon the right bears the name of the river. These two states differ only in a single respect: Kentucky has admitted slavery, but the state of Ohio has prohibited the existence of slaves within its borders. Thus the traveler who floats down the current of the Ohio to the spot where that river falls into the Mississippi may be said to sail between liberty and servitude; and a transient inspection of surrounding objects will convince him which of the two is more favorable to humanity.

Upon the left bank of the stream the population is sparse; from time to time one descries a troop of slaves loitering in the half-desert fields; the primeval forest reappears at every turn; society seems to be asleep, man to be idle, and nature alone offers a scene of activity and life.

From the right bank, on the contrary, a confused hum is heard, which proclaims afar the presence of industry; the fields are covered with abundant harvests; the elegance of the dwellings announces the taste and activity of the laborers; and man appears to be in the enjoyment of that wealth and contentment which is the reward of labor.

The state of Kentucky was founded in 1775, the state of Ohio only twelve years later; but twelve years are more in America than half a century in Europe; and at the present day the population of Ohio exceeds that of Kentucky by two hundred and fifty thousand souls. These different effects of slavery and freedom may readily be understood; and they suffice to explain many of the differences which we notice between the civilization of antiquity and that of our own time.

Upon the left bank of the Ohio labor is confounded with the idea of slavery, while upon the right bank it is identifies with that of prosperity and improvement; on the one side it is degraded, on the other it is honored. On the former territory no white laborers can be found, for they would be afraid of assimilating themselves to the Negroes; all the work is done by slaves; on the latter no one is idle, for the white population extend their activity and intelligence to every kind of employment. Thus the men whose task it is to cultivate the rich soil of Kentucky are ignorant and apathetic, while those who are active and enlightened either do nothing or pass over into Ohio, where they may work without shame.

We see those two conflicting attitudes to this very day!


"[L]abor is confounded with the idea of slavery".

The white people of my generation used to call certain jobs "****** work" and would refuse to do such labor. Is that phrase still around?

It's that attitude of the Old South which has carried over. People are too proud to do some types of jobs, but strangely enough are not too proud to take a government handout.

That's how deeply embedded the idea of "****** work" is.

Yep!

 

[Harry Dresden]

must have different types of "trailer" parks where you guys are.....we call them "Mobile" Homes out here and some of them are pretty high end.....built pretty solid too....

 

[Pheonixops]

Are you sure YOU don't live in one them "trailor" parks because obviously you can't spell worth a crap simple words!

So now your observation is less credible because YOU can't seem to pay attention to the little red dotted line!
Here is your answer though for lazy people like you.

Welfare Statistics | Statistic Brain

Percent of recipients who are white 38.8 %
Percent of recipients who are black 39.8 %
Percent of recipients who are Hispanic 15.7 %
Percent of recipients who are Asian 2.4 %
Percent of recipients who are Other 3.3 %

NOW idiot this is the % of people ON WELFARE BY race and 39.8% are blacks!
BUT you idiot... WHAT percent of the total black population is on welfare???

Total number of Americans on welfare 12,800,000
Total number of Americans on food stamps 46,700,000
Total number of Americans on unemployment insurance 5,600,000
Percent of the US population on welfare 4.1 %
Total government spending on welfare annually (not including food stamps or unemployment) $131.9 billion

So if there are 12,800,000 ON welfare you dummy and 39.8% are black that makes 5,094,000 blacks on welfare!
Now dummy how many blacks in the USA??? 37,685,848 blacks according to:Demographics of the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
IF 5,094,000 blacks are on welfare that is 13.5% of all blacks are on welfare..
WHITES??? 4,966,400 of the people on welfare are WHITES.
HOW MANY whites in the USA??? 223,553,265 or 2.2% of ALL whites are on welfare VERSUS 13.5% of all BLACKS!!!

NoW you f...king idiot REFUTE THOSE FACTS!!!
Blacks as a ethnic group make up MORE then whites and MORE of the smaller number of BLACKS 13.5% are on welfare!
AGAIN... explain that dummy!!!

Thanks for clarifying the fact that 86.5% of "the Blacks" are NOT on welfare and that a very small minority of "the Blacks" are on welfare. This actually makes the stupid; "Blacks on the plantation", "Blacks vote for handouts" , racist crap what it is; absolutely racist bullshit put forth by a bunch of small minded bigots. Happy Friday!

Sorry I don't speak gibberish the little of your rant I was able to decipher indicates it was the typical far left the rich need to pay their fair share talking point.

 

[OnePercenter]

I think it's better to ask how much welfare does corporate America consume?

 

[Billy000]

Welfare in America only goes to the very dirt poor. Here are the FACTS on food stamps.

The average household income of SNAP recipients is $744 a MONTH.

The average SNAP recipient receives $133 a MONTH.

76% of households receiving SNAP have at least one dependent living in the household.

 

[koshergrl]

WHY is government DOING IT at all? Is that their proper role as the Founders made up this Republic? NO.

The public has to take care of the public because the private sector is selfish and greedy.

The government that the Founders created enforced slavery.

Wow.

You're a fucking idiot. Seriously. Spoken like a true loser who is all prepared to justify why he has never worked in his entire life...but still manages to be supported by others.

Yeah cite and link that study.

 

[koshergrl]

They get away with that sort of crap stat because they count all the children. What the stat really reflects is that there is income of about $744 PER HOUSEHOLD MEMBER (in a household of 4, you do the math) and an average of $133 PER HOUSEHOLD MEMBER (in a household of 4, you do the math)....

And the allotment amount is non-reflective because many foodstamp households have enough income that their fs allotment is actually $0.00....but they apply and are officially certified for foodstamps, because their foodstamp eligibility can determine their eligibility for things like energy assistance, and free lunches at school.

They HAVE TO by gubmint FIAT Gracie? Can you tell the rest of the class where that edict resides in the rule of LAW meaning the US Constitution?

WHERE did the Founders state that?

Chapter and verse bucko...and as an added bonus? IF you cite "The GENERAL WELFARE CLAUSE"? I will be very disappointed in you and will school YOU further.

YOUR TURN.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Whether its appalachia or the streets of chicago, it's equally deplorable and has nothing to do with race.

YEP. Race has NOTHING to do with being on the dole...it shouldn't be happening AT ALL...but Government has lost it's way thinking it's the arbiter of charity using forcibly gotten TAX PAYER dollars.

It has to cease.

How?

Millionaire rancher Bundy has been on welfare his entire life. He and his family, going back generations, have never paid fair market value for the land they use and instead, we taxpayers subsidize them with our taxes.

How do we change that?

How do we get children and the elderly and disabled and vets off food stamps?

How do we get Repubs to stop obstructing job's bills?

And, all the rest that you rw's KNOW and refuse to acknowledge and deal with.

 

[koshergrl]

Easy.

You change the eligibility standards.

Gets really tiresome that some rw's hide behind the "founding fathers yammer yammer".

How about we move into the 21 century? How about we deal with the real world as it is right now today?
