He hasn't CREATED the entitlement state, he just made it bigger.
"Read my lips, no new taxes" George H.W. didn't create any new taxes, he didn't even raise existing taxes, only Congress can do that, and H.W, was branded a liar and lost his job because the Democrats falsely accused him, and the 'unwashed peasants', (stupid voters) bought the lie!
Imagine George H.W. vetoing the bill, he would have been accused of shutting down the Government and the same unwashed peasants would have bought that lie too.
To the ignorant masses a lie is easier to believe than the truth, as long as it's delivered more articulately.
Entitlement state feeds the myth that Republicans are selling that Americans are lazy, want free stuff, lack a work ethic
Americans are among the hardest workers in the world. What they want is a good job where they can support a family, maybe buy a home, send their kids to college, not worry about getting sick and losing everything
They used to be able to get that on a High School Education and a father working. Unions fought for worker rights. Good pay, vacation time, retirement benefits, healthcare. Republicans have fought for 30 years to erode that. Make workers fear for their jobs. Accept less and work harder
It is business who is entitled
I thought the reason we need imigrants, is to do what americans won't. Also all those so called benefits for life are bankrupting companys and states.

The trades are some of the fasting growing job sectors out there, and all they require is a high school education and an apprenticeship. Progressives have sold the "Everyone goes to College" mantra, resulting in tons of overqualified people for naturally very few niche jobs.
We have a vast underclass that has no reason to work, do you deny that?

Where has anyone ever said "Everyone must go to college"?
Another myth being pushed by Conservatives. Progressives have pushed post secondary education for those who desire it. That education has always included vocational education
What we have is a vast underclass without access to the ladder to success. Yes I know a few can make it through hard work and perserverence, but that ladder used to carry everyone who was willing to work hard.
Republicans fight tooth and nail against a minimum wage that will get you further up that ladder. But the problem is a lack of jobs that provide the ability to support a family.
The result is an entitlement system where the taxpayers subsidize employers who pay low wages by providing a safety net for their employees
As Margaret Thatcher said - "Socialism is fine until you run out of other people's money".
Eventually welfare for the corporations will end, no doubt.
America will be a third world nation by then.

Everyone going to college has been the progressive concept since the 60's and 70's. It helps progressive professors, and is seen as a great way to get more progressives.
We have a vast underclass with no reason to get to the ladder, because their basic needs are taken care of. Coupled with punisment via loss of benefits for working in most cases, and you create no reason for people to better themselves, and no coercsion for them to better themselves because progressives are afraid to hurt people feelwings.
If you are supporting a family on minimum wage, somewhere you fucked up, simple as that.

I agree...there is no reason to get to a ladder in which you cannot climb
This is just not welfare minorities scamming the system but millions of young americans who followed the rules, worked hard, graduated college, served in the military......only to find that ladder does not provide jobs that they can support themselves on

What has been repeatedly pointed out...and repeatedly ignored by progressives like yourself, Winger...is that entry level minimum wage jobs are the means for people to ACCESS the ladder and begin an ascent to better paying jobs. Those jobs were NEVER supposed support a family of four. When you raise the minimum wage to the extent that liberals are now calling for you WILL cut the number of entry level jobs available to young people and people without job skills. What you naively think will help the poor will in fact hurt them even more.

When I worked for minimum wage ($2.10 an hour) I did not earn enough to support myself
But I did earn enough to pay for college just working summers. Others could earn enough to buy a new car or get started in an apartment
Minimum wage does not even get you started up that ladder of success because it will not even pay the basics to keep you on that ladder

You can climb it, it just requires hard work, or even working in a job you may think is "beneath you" for a while. And people expect to shoot up the ladder with no effort nowadays, it takes work, it takes some sacrifice, something people today just can't seem to muster.

Americans do work hard. As hard as they ever have and they have less to show for it. American workers are sacrificing. Working harder and receiving less for it. Lower pay, no pay increases, shoddy healthcare, no paid vacations, no retirement plan

It never bothered me to work two jobs, be broke all the time, and go to school. It was a means to an end. It doesnt bother me now to work long hours. Thats the only way that I know how to move up.

This whole post is complete bullshit.
First off, there's never been a move to mandate everyone go to college. Again, the move was to make it available. There is no conspiracy to make more people "progressive".
Second off, we don't have a vast underclass with no reason to climb the ladder. What we have are people with no buy in because folks like yourself do their very best to shutdown opportunity to people they don't like.
And third? A minimum wage is needed. Without government intervention business would engage in massive wage theft.

All sorts of generalizations in there, and not enough to continue to rob people to pay for your pet social projects.

Once again you offer an individual solution to a problem that impacts an entire class of people. We are talking about 30 million people. There are not 30 million additional jobs out there so that people can work two jobs. There are not enough overtime hours for 30 million people to work
You offer simplistic solutions for a complex problem

Yes or No...
Do you own or run the type of business where you would hire someone into a position for which they would be considered over-qualified?
