So, you can produce Constitutional authority for public charity? Have at it.
You'll have to explain that one -Article 1 Section 1 of the Constitution
Article 1, Section 1:
"All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives."
Where is the authority for public charity?
I know you get a kick out of lying. Tell me something I didn't already know."Conservatives say if you don't give the rich more money, they will lose their incentive to invest. As for the poor, they tell us they've lost all incentive because we've given them too much money."
- George Carlin
I've listed FACTS in this thread.
Care to try to dispute any of 'em?
Or, for everyone's amusement.....go back to claiming that George Bernard Shaw wasn't a totalitarian who wanted to annihilate all those who 'couldn't justify their being alive.'
I get such a kick out of that one.
Many are also disabled or retired.Good example of how you distort facts. Single mothers make up a large portion of those households. The largest percentage of them are white teenage girls. Having babies in the home makes it difficult to get or hold a job for these girls who are kids themselves.People who have educated themselves and learned skills deserve to make good money and have jobs that don't require sore muscles and aching backs at the end of the day are fortunate and deserve the benefits of their positions. To imply that those less fortunate don't work hard is just disgusting self aggrandizing and aristocratic crap.You a an idiot. I would like to see you work at harvesting vegetables and fruit or pushing a wheel barrel full of concrete or carrying shingles onto a roof or doing landscaping all day in the hot sun or spreading black top in 98% temperature or standing in front of a commercial dishwasher and lifting bins of dirty dishes. Many people who do these kinds of back breaking and life shortening jobs live in poverty or on the edge of it. Only people who have never worked at hard labor mock hard labor.Let's get back to the most powerful lying-Liberal.

5. "The Lie Obama Keeps Repeating About the Poor in America
The best anti-poverty program is a job. Obama said this at a recent conference on poverty.
But he continues to repeat a falsehood over and over. This is the claim that the poor work just as hard as the rich do. .... the average poor family doesn’t work nearly as much as the rich families do. And that’s a key reason why these households are poor.
.... Census Bureau data on household incomes document the importance of work. Census sorts the households by income quintile, and we will label those in the highest quintile as “rich,” and those in the lowest quintile as “poor.” The average household in the top 20 percent of income have an average of almost exactly two full-time workers. The average poor family (bottom 20 percent) has just 0.4 workers.
This means on average, roughly for every hour worked by those in a poor household, those in a rich household work five hours.
The finding that six out of 10 poor households have no one working at all is disturbing. Since they have no income from work, is it a surprise they are poor?" The Lie Obama Keeps Repeating About the Poor in America
Obama: "... the poor work just as hard as the rich do..."
Clearly not the case.
Another winner in the "Lie of the Year" contest???
"To imply that those less fortunate don't work hard..."
DON'T WORK AT ALL!!!!
Can't you read, you moron???

You get your so called facts so disjointed and confused you didn't even notice that you supported my post. The legislature in Washington DC did exactly as I claimed under Republican Hoover and Democrat Roosevelt and all legislatures and Presidents since that time have endorsed and propagated the idea that the nation has an obligation and duty to the poor and vulnerable.Assistance is given to the poor because almost a century ago the nation made a decision that the whole of the country had an obligation and duty to help the vulnerable. The decision has been re-affirmed and reinforced ever since. It is what the American people decided to do in the 20th Century. There have always been imperfections and complaints about how the system works or doesn't work, but the only solution that has ever been found is related to access to jobs. That is the only solution that works to relieve the assistance rolls and lists.Crumbs are given to the poor to enslave them and buy their votes. To add anything further to the debate is a lie.
False.
Are you ignorant or simply lying???
Franklin Roosevelt, bosom-buddy of Joseph Stalin, removed it from the private to the public.
Remarkable lack of success has been on display since.
1. "[Hoover] was heartened by the work of private charities in handling the overwhelming number....As of the fall of 1931, and into 1932, Americans raised over $100 million for charity..."
"Federal Aid for Relief (Columbia University Studies in the Social Sciences), "by Edward A. Williams, p. 33.
2. The pressure from Congress to federalize relief- by the summer of 1932 almost 16 million were unemployed! But charities, like the Red Cross, opposed federal intervention, because they knew that it would result in the end of support by citizens for private charities. In 1932, Hoover and the Congress sharply raised the income tax, leaving citizens with less ability to aid the needy.
a. The result was Hoover ended the American tradition of private relief. " The Emergency Relief and Construction Act(ch. 520, 47 Stat. 709, enacted July 21, 1932), was the United States's first major-relief legislation, enabled under Herbert Hoover and later adopted and expanded by Franklin D. Roosevelt as part of his New Deal." Emergency Relief and Construction Act - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

What about the 40% according to you that do work? And what about the households that make just a small amount over the poverty level because they do that back breaking work.

Good luck to you
Now you are getting desperate and making up stuff. I said the country took on the responsibility for assisting the vulnerable almost a century ago.

Devil's Advocate: Not only should all welfare programs be ended to encourage evolution and survival of the fittest, but any and all public assistance, kindness to the poor, etc. should too. Why help the weak survive and pass on failure-genes only ensuring the problems continues with the next generation? Everytime we send food and money to Africa during famine and hard times, all we do is help weak people go on living long enough to reproduce and multiply the problem.
Let the weak die. Problem solved.
