Does welfare make people lazy?

[TemplarKormac]

Why don't job creators create any jobs or raise wages with their record corporate profits?

Why won't Democrats pass any jobs legislation?

 

[LoneLaugher]

How many sane, able bodied adult Americans turn down an available job in favor of living off of the taxpayer?

Anyone?

Same old lame con bullshit. All you got is childish insults. Try debating on an adult level, with facts. Here's some......

How Your Social Security Money Was Stolen ? Where Did the $2.5 Trillion Surplus Go? | AmpedStatus
It's not the liberals that have been trying to destroy Social Security for the last 70 years, it's the cons. So your "both parties are doing it", is just a con job.

Your own source said that the dems were also complicit in raiding SS.
Didn't you even read the article that you posted, or did you just cherry pick the parts that you wanted to place blame with? You, Hungover, are a disingenuous twit...and that may be a compliment to your character.

Of course the Dems were involved.

Hell. LBJ is the fucking idiot that put SS in the General fund where its been ever since.

He needed money for the Viet Nam War. The Clowns in DC have been robbing it blind ever since.

If it had been left right where it was SS would never be in any trouble. Now its full of IOU's from all those fucking Clowns who rob it when they need money.

Of course those same fucking Clowns don't rob their own SS, which gets payed into a seperate fund. They just rob everybody else.

Social Security sometimes takes in more than it pays out and that surplus is loaned to the government, always has been. LBJ changed the accounting procedure by deducting that occassional surplus from the national debt making the debt seem smaller. That was the practice from LBJ to Clinton including Reagan. Under Clinton Congress changed the accounting back to the previous method of not deducting the surplus from the national debt.

My grandmother used to get surplus cheese and peanut butter from the government, back in the 1960's, when she was 81 years old. It must be true that welfare makes you lazy, because she didn't have a job. She just sat in front of her TV, living the life of Riley, spooning free peanut butter into her mouth.

it would have been nice if her grandson cared enough about her to bring her some groceries. Seems to me her welfare made her family too lazy to take care of her

As a matter of fact, we had her over every Sunday, and mom cooked enough to last her most of the week. She took all the leftovers. We had to be a little diplomatic about it, because she was a proud woman.

What happens when you take away someone's welfare and they still can't find a job?

Not my responsibility. Although circumstances may vary; ultimately the responsibility for the welfare and employment of one's person rests with that person, not with their government.

And who does the responsibility lie with you? Your grandma.

You realise that if an employer fires you, then you can get employment insuance payments that the employer pays for?

What's "pride" got to do with anything? Until these payments dry up, the employer that fired you has to pay them regardless of how you may feel about receiving them.

Welfare is not unemployment as was pointed out on the very first page of this thread.

You really are a cold hearted sob, aren't you?

Hey you're the one not taking care of your grandma.

Hey you're the one no taking care of your grandma.

You will be happy to know that she died in the mid 1970's, so she isn't costing you a dime. I, on the other hand, am going to live forever, so keep those SS checks coming!

no grandmother of mine would have to live on government peanut butter.

But you think it's OK and you speak of pride?

Unemployment is welfare just like any other type of welfare. It's wealth redistribution by government using the force of guns. The people receiving the money are not the ones who paid for it. If it was voluntary for employers, then it would not be welfare, but it is not, it's just tax and redistribute like all other welfare programs.

Not really. Businesses pay unemployment taxes to both state and fed and if a business lays a person off they pay higher rates.

It's factored into the cost of having employees.

What a ridiculous argument. Government takes money from employers and gives it to people for not working. Unemployed are being paid someone else's money taken by force for not working. And that's not welfare. Right. It's pure wealth redistribution, it's welfare.

It's also about the most butt stupid tax we have. When companies are struggling, they get taxed more for trying to survive jeopardizing everyone else's job. When someone sucks, their employer is forced to continue to pay for them. The more you hire and the more you give people chances, the more you are forced with government guns to pay for people to not work. It's a pure anti-jobs tax.

Man...that Kaz is a regular business genius.

 

[MarcATL]

What a dumbass question. Of course it does.

Why in hell would anyone want to go out and get a job when someone elses money is paying the bills??

Why in hell would someone actually want to work for a living when a living is being provided for them??

Why in hell would someone want to get off the gravy train when someone else is pulling it for em??

You show your ignorance with every post you make child...

How much money does anyone make on welfare?
Can it cover your bills?
What's the gravy train their on?
Stop spewing nonsensical far RW rhetoric and post some numbers please.

 

[MarcATL]

Look at the idiot that writes many far RW pieces...
