A Welfare State : Government ***Buy*** The People

And there's a telling look into the mind (for lack of a better term) of the socialist.....They look at the entire economic system as one big pile of cash, and the eeeevvvvilll wealthy people either got to the pile first or cheated to get a bigger piece of it.

Truth is that wealth is virtually infinite and all one has to do to get a piece of the action is get up off their ass and take some chances.

How idealistic..

The wealthy benefit from the Golden Rule

He who has the gold makes the rules

They have been able to manipulate the system through tax cuts, tax exemptions, labor rules, relaxation of environmental and workplace protections.......all to ensure that they receive an ever larger slice of the pie.

The super wealthy do not get rich by taking chances.......they get that way by making sure there is no chance involved

Get a bigger slice, buy some stock in one of our thousands of publicly owned companies. Forego that I-pod or that new car and invest in your future.

Yes, Timmy.......you too can be a millionaire!
Just buckle down, do your homework and count your pennies

Word out today is that young people have lost earning power in the last ten years. Its not that they "own ipods" but that the standard of living for the working class has declined

Being that Imperial Power now lies with the Union's, why not complain to them? Why support special Privilege? We're stuck with the bills?

How about We pass a Law that Excludes Unions from All State and Federal Jobs, like they do already at the Capital Building. That last bit about open ballots was pretty freaky. Sounds like they are getting ready to pound some heads. The Power they wield is dangerous to The Republic. Thanks for helping bring that point out.

The Nature of the Welfare State

by Sheldon Richman,

Welfare-state programs have three central characteristics: plunder, deception, and obfuscation. Because those programs always effect a forcible transfer of wealth from one group of individuals to another, they involve what the great 19th-century economist Frederic Bastiat called "legalized plunder." The law sanctions stealing in these cases and is thereby changed from its original purpose, which was to protect people's rights and property. Bastiat's classic book The Law explains this point with the utmost clarity.


.

By God, you are right. We transferred hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars to Haliburton and the like, and got back over 4000 of our sons and daughters in body bags for our money. Then Haliburton moved the company to Dubai. Where the hell were you then?
 
The amazing part is that the wealthy somehow convince people like Contumacious that the problem with our system is the poor who are getting just a crumb out of the remaining piece of the pie



Mr Fucktard, Sir

Health and Human Services Budget

.:eek:

demoncwats don't pay taxes they just want to suck the tit.

Conservatives live off of dole. Look at the color of the states that send more money to DC than they get. Almost uniformily blue. Then look at the states that recieve more than the send, almost all red. We should put these parasites to work.

WikiAnswers - What states receive more federal tax dollars than they pay in

The latest numbers I can find are from The Tax Foundation:
The Tax Foundation - Federal Taxing and Spending Benefit Some States, Leave Others Paying Bill

33 states and the District of Columbia get back more Federal tax dollars than they pay in. Ironically, considering the Republican Party champions low taxes and cutting Federal taxes, 21 of the 33 states who get back more than the taxpayers in those states pay in are also states who voted for John McCain in 2008. In effect, the wealthier Blue states are subsidizing poorer, more rural Red states...much as urban counties usually subsidize rural counties on the state tax level albeit the red-leaning suburbs of urban areas (map showing red and blue counties at bottom) subsidize the dark blue super-urban inner cities of metropolitan areas. The blue city propers typically are net receivers of federal funds.
 
We do have a welfare state in this country and something has to be done about it.

We have set up a system where unrestricted wealth flows from the middle class to the wealthy. 90% of the wealth is controlled by 10% of the population.

If our available wealth were a pie cut into 10 pieces. One person would claim 9 pieces while the remaining 9 people fight over the remaining piece.

The amazing part is that the wealthy somehow convince people like Contumacious that the problem with our system is the poor who are getting just a crumb out of the remaining piece of the pie

If the Pie was divided your way, there would be no pie to divide.

Liberal Statists operate on the premise of "Zero Sum Game"...

You Conservatives operate on the premise that you can lie your way out of anything. Worked for eight years, then came 2008.

Just more proof that the socialistic welfare state is a complete failure....If it worked, those states wouldn't need the money anymore.
 
Most people don't like to have their wealth taken away. (People are funny that way.) So if the government is to get away with legalized plunder, the politicians must make people believe that something else is going on. That's where the deception comes into play.

However, deception can be expected to work for only so long. People may stumble onto the facts and upset things. If the programs are to endure, the truth needs to be sufficiently obscured so that even if people try to take a close look, it won't be obvious what is happening. That's obfuscation. (Try to read any piece of legislation if you want to see how the people are kept from understanding what the government is doing.)

HEY-You flat hit in on the NAIL. But all these Obama voters forgot about their OWN.

Show me a young person today that hasn't overextended himself and I show you a conservative who's doing just fine. He's not depending on daddy to help him.

It's a matter of personal responsibility.

The power that the wealthy wield today is the danger to our nation. The disparity in income and wealth has never been greater. It even exceeds that of 1929. Time for the Unions to get aggressive and get the people that do the work of this nation their fair share of the wealth that they produce.

In this current recession-near Depression, many people are learning just how badly the working people of this nation have been treated. Not only have the wealthy shipped jobs overseas, with just the profits to their pockets coming back, but they have actively recruited illegal immigrants for the express purpose of depressing wages. Then they play the xenophobia card.

Time for us in the working class to take back our nation, and that begins with Health Care. The we need to address the fact that the very wealthy pay a far lower per centage of their income in taxes than does the working man or woman.

Yet another of your self-imposed limits.

Since when did being a working class drone lead to real prosperity?

OK, asshole. Come down to our steel mill where half of our people are layed off, and most of the others are on shortened work weeks and make that statement. Be sure that your Health Insurance is paid up.

The parasites are the so-called capatalists that created this situation. And their ass sucking toadies likey you, Dude.

See??...Being a working class drone leads to nowhere.

Thanks for confirming my premise, dumbass.
 
Hey---this same strategy ALMOST worked in Mexico just a year ago. Mexico city--considered the largest population on earth-- 24 million estimated--& in poverty ALMOST elected a President that promised the masses everything at the expense of foreigners. Of course, that would be foreigners who invested money in hotels--etc. for tourism. All of the tourist resorts that many Americans & Canadians frequent every year in Mexico.

It was a very close election. But to all those Mexicans that work for tourism in that country decided they were going to vote for Calderon--because he was the promoter of foreigners coming in to build these huge resorts with the jobs & income to nationals that would provide jobs.

Tourism in Mexico is their 2nd largest industry. So if Mexicans can get it-why can't Americans?

Upps--I think this is "Trickle down Economics"?---the HATED ideology of a liberal.

The only reason the "Peon" doesn't flurish under trickle down economics is because he is too lazy to get the "pee" up--or is waiting a taxpayer bailout.

And if those peons want to define themselves that way for life, then I hope they bring large buckets for when the pissing starts.

Yup, but in our economic system you have the choice to go after the the 9 pieces if you so decide. It's the difference between having a wealth mentality or an employee mentality.
