Let's talk about POOR U.S. CITIZENS no one else is this election year!

[Catalist]

This Week in Poverty: Obama

No one, neither party, wants to talk about poor U. S. CITIZENS, yet we send bombers to Libya, troops to Afghanistan, and food to every international disaster. Why don't we take care of our own poor first?

Give them education, training, and opportunity. Prepare them for a world where we all make our own breaks. We should not allow a single immigrant into the United States until all of our CITIZENS have been given a REAL opportunity to improve themselves, (that is opportunity, not free lunch), We need to take care of our own first! Because when we do, we can tax them too!

I happen to be a liberal Democrat, but that is not the point. Neither party is addressing this issue. We need to turn our citizens who are liabilities into assets. This is not a political idea, this is an American concept. If we get everyone paying, everyone pays less! The only ones who should not have to work are the totally disabled. This is not a partisan concept, this is an American concept!

By the way, I think Mitt Romney has missed an important opportunity to appeal to middle class voters here. As members of the middle class slip into the low income category, Romney could have come up with alternatives not only to help the middle class, but help the poor build lives.

Not only would this have been good for the economy, and Romney's election chances, it would have been a chance to do something for someone beside the 1%. Everyone is tired of hearing about the 1% and their fictional problems.

I am sorry, but I don't see Romney worrying about me. When guys like me start turning to OWS and away from the Democratic Party, American has a problem. And, what is that you ask? Wall Street owns the Republicans, and rents the Democrats. Neither gives a damn about me. In 2009 and 2010 Democrats had the White House and Congress. We had the biggest financial crisis in history. No hearings were held, and no one went to jail.

The Tea Party has been obstructionist, and has accomplished nothing that helps the middle class. Nothing is getting done in Washington, and Americans blame the Tea Party. I predict this will be their last election. Out as fast as they came in. OWS says vote incumbents out, and so far, I agree! Americans are pissed and don't like anyone, but they are watching OWS.

OWS is a bunch or retards that no one listens to or cares about.

You know what they say about opinions.

I think you could probably find a similar quote from a monarchist describing the founders. if the message is populist it is never anything to lightly dismiss. So anyway, what is it you like about Wall Street buying our politicians?

Oh, good. Let the OWS go start their own country.

Yeah, the only thing I see OW doing is committing crimes ~shrug~ OW does not stand for anything worthwhile like the Tea Party does.

That happens when you watch trash media, the only things you see are what they want you to see.

OWS wasn't populist.

It was just a bunch of spoiled dope smoking morons.

That when the weather got cold folded their tents and went back to their parents basement to play video games.

ACA will be the greatest thing ever for the poor. You'll never see Pubs doing ANY of the above for the poor, or nonrich. They're only here for the greedy rich...

 

[Clementine]

How do you turn people into productive citizens so they aren't liabilities anymore? Do we expect anything of those people when it comes to turning their lives around?

OWS are a good example of why we have a large class of dependents. They are good about wanting everything and whining to get it, but they do little else to help themselves.

Apparently, the whining wasn't enough so they are pooping everywhere in hopes of getting sympathy. Can't imagine why it's not working.

Like the OW committing felonies as they demand what others work for. Nah, that obnoxious group of wanna-be-freeloaders doesn't impress me one bit.

However I do agree with the OP about many of his points concerning the poor in our country. I do not see the OW crowd accomplishing anything worthwhile towards those points. OW has done way more damage then it has done good, they are an embarrassment to the nation.

Wrong. Democrats want to help them.

Republicans want to:

Suppress their vote

Let them starve

Make sure they can never get an education

Let them die

Grind them down into the dirt

Not something that can be denied.

This is not true. Republicans in general and conservatives (classical liberals) in particular have been talking about the poor for decades and doing everything they can to help them, to advance all Americans. You just don't grasp the non-governmental, wealth-producing ramifications of liberty. If you did you would not be a liberal Democrat. You would renounce your political affiliations—the policies and politicians—that produce entrenched poverty and dependence. You have been deceived. The underlying solution is not education or training and so on. The solution is liberty. The rest follows. Many immigrants, naturalized citizens, in this country understand this, and many of them look at Americans who don't understand this as if they were retarded. Of all people, those born here don't know that?

Nobody knew who the 1% and 99% were before OWS- they did their job.

The poor are all but invisible to Washington DC except for every four years when their vote is required. Republicans have apparently decided that they are no longer needed even for that. The social programs that help the poor and even the poor themselves are spoken of in the same tone they used to reserve for our nation's enemies, we can only conclude that the poor have been publicly abandoned by the GOP.

 

[francoHFW]

Classical liberals my azz- biggest pile of crappe since Hitler the socialist. It's just too easy making millions off the dupes producing total BULLSHYTTE.

You are seriously mistanken here.
