The Republican war on the Poor

[JakeStarkey]

I disagree that republicans have declared war on the poor - they have simply invited the poor into a higher income level ~

And the poor who decline the ‘invitation’ through no fault on their own will be subject to punitive measures by the right.

As it should be.
You don't work, you don't eat. It isn't society's role to play mommy to every lazy fucker out there.

Sorry, son. We don't live in the 19th century. Were you the crazy poster who was arguing that child labor laws should be eliminated?

So sez, Jake, King of the Unsubstantiated Statement. All hail!

Cons are not only declaring war on the poor. They're out to throw the elderly in the street, by destroying Social Security and Medicare. They also want to destroy Medicaid, healthcare, education, the EPA, and double spending on the war machine. If you like mean and cruel war mongers, the GOP is for you.

You need a new gig. That one's tired.
The truth is Dems hate poor people. They concoct schemes to keep them in poverty and ensare many more.
Dems are the biggest dupes on the planet.

The majority of the poor on welfare are from red states. You're so full of it, your eyes are brown. When the truth smacks you up side your head, you're not going to like it.

Geez people.
Get a grip on yourselves.
Even with the cuts, people in the SNAP program are getting more each month for food, than those who spend their own money each month.
Me and my husband, spend around 216.00 to 250.00 each month on food.
Under SNAP if we were qualified to get it, we would receive 272.00 and that is after the cuts !!!!!!!!!
This is really wrong, when Government gives more to people who don't pay taxes and takes from people who do pay taxes.

And? Your point here?
You donth have one. You are using "monkey debate" techniques: fling as much shit as possible.
The truth is that federal poverty programs are largely designed to keep people in poverty.

 

[JakeStarkey]

No, they are designed to send the crazies like The Rabbi into the screaming meemies.

hummmmmm.

Taxpayers and the producers must pay through the nose through no fault of their own.

[blastoff]

Gee, all we're in favor of is dirty air and water for the poor (and others) and next thing you know we're accused with being at war with the poor. We wouldn't discriminate like that.

We as a nation need to focus on educating our poor. Just as important as we need to reform our educational system with one of the top 5 systems....

17th is bull shit.

You don't even have a solution outside of throwing families onto the streets. How would you solve this without hurting people?

By showing families that they are the only ones responsible for how they live or what they earn.

Teach them hard work.

How about we teach people to budget in school?

Teach people correct principles and they will govern themselves. The idea that we need to turn over more and more power to the government to fix personal problems is wrong.

Conservatives seem to think of the great recession and the ensuing financial meltdown like it was some kind slightly oversized speed bump in a 15 mph school zone which unduly bucks a driver who drove a mere 5 mph over the speed limit.

WRONG!

The hit to our economy was more like a huge pot hole in the middle of a turnpike. Therefore, it should be no shock to ANYONE that the damage to our economy was serious and will take several years to recover from. It wouldn't surprise me if it takes well over a decade. And what are we trying to recover from? In part, it's conservative supply side economics, massive deregulation which conservatives also championed, and globalization which was embraced by both political parties to help enrich the already rich who, by the way, are doing quite fine even as most everyone else is just barely getting by.

Which, of course, is why all the progressives are screaming about how all the people recieving food stamps should be afraid of Republicans because they are getting $10 less a month.

Conservatives aren't afraid of change. We are the ones proposing real changes.

All Avatar solutions include handing someone a self help book or slapping them with it. Such Wow

The economy isn't recovering, because you wont let it recover.

See the reason the free market is the best system out there is because it regulates itself. If people begin to be corrupt within the system it corrects itself with a downturn. And through the downturn people can fix the mistakes that created the downturn.

But as long as you keep handing power over to government to prevent us from having a downturn, the downturn gets 1) longer and 2) doesn't correct because you keep supporting the corruption that created the problem to begin with.

There is a reason the 1920 Depression, which was far more serious than the Great Depression and our Great Recession is barely remembered in history. It's because instead of turning to the government to "fix" it. The people had the government cut taxes, cut spending and got it out of the way so they could do as they please for their own benefit.

The problem is instead of a limited government, you've got the progressives of both parties pushing for bail outs which is just reinforcing corrupt business behavior and preventing the economy from reseting.

The longer we uphold corruption and prevent the reset, the more difficult it will be to reset. People are going to be hurting alot because the government keeps trying to prevent reset and instead rewards the people who are screwing things up.
