Hello Conservatives - I've been reading quite a lot of posts here from you folks about lazy people, welfare, and "free stuff" Well, before you flip on Rush Limbaugh, or light your next little candle in saint like worship to Ronnie Ray Gun, take a few min. and consider these 2 things:
1. The vast majority of welfare and food stamp recipients work! That's right, despite what you've been hearing from Breitbart, FIX NEWS, and old Rush about those lazy welfare scabs (mostly Liberals) scamming "free stuff" off of you honest, hard working, Christian pure "Real Americans" it simply isn't true. Why is this?? It's because while executive pay packages for CEO's and CFO's has skyrocketed 500% in the last 35 years, working class wages have not kept pace with the cost of living, and tens of millions of full time working Americans now live below the poverty line.
2. Government hand out's such as subsidies, grants, and other corporate welfare goodies to the Fortune 500 cost Americans twice as much as social welfare! I know you folks don't want to hear this, but companies such as Goldman Sachs, Dow Chemical, and Exxonmobil are costing you folks twice as much as welfare for the working poor. This is not money given in exchange for goods or services, it's simply "free money" given away to really big corporations.
Before you fine Christian pure souls get the urge to whail about "fake news" I'd suggest you consider the links below are from the business community such as the Wall Street Journal and Forbes, and INC. (Not exactly bastions of looney Liberalism) Please read them (if you can) before you start your next rant about "free stuff"
I could make this simpler for you folks to understand, but I'd need puppets and crayons.
