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

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.

You lie like a little girl.

Why do you hate little girls?

 

[hortysir]

Hard to have much sympathy for someone that has Zero income, pays Zero taxes, yet gets a cell phone, food stamps and medical care.
Uses the medicaid to get pain pills to sell for Marlboros and Mountain Dew.
When those pills run out uses the food stamp card to buy food for someone to get more pills.

 

[SFC Ollie]

Little secret for you. you know those big corporations and those greedy Businessmen? You know, the ones that we are supposed to hate because they want everyone to be poor except for them.....

Think about that. They want you to be poor so that you cannot afford to buy whatever they are selling..... How do you think that will work out for them?

Keep on believing the stupid shit..........

Oh yes, and OWS Sucks.......

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!

I got news for you. You're not a liberal Democrat. You're scarcely a Democrat with sense like that lol.

I'm not a Republican, I'm an Independent, but I'll weigh in on this.

How about if they:

Get off their asses.

Get a job.

Be productive.

Be self sufficient.

Stop being a leech looking for a handout.

Get off of the streets.

Get off of the drugs.

Get off of the booze.

Stay in school.

Stop getting knocked up and making babies that they can't and don't want to support?

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.

Wait the teaparty hasnt done anything and you like OWS? Uh something tells me you're faking the old center of the road mentaltiy or you really just dont pay attention to politics. OWS is a bunch of thugs, commies and nuts who shit on the street. TeaParty people dont shit on the street, are very clean and constantly take out career politicians of both parties, something you stand for correct?

The masters who control the amount of money in ciculation have thrown the economy into another one of their down-cycles.

They do this periodically to bankrupt millions of americans so they can buy up real assets cheaply.

This is done periodically because this is how they gain control over the assets that are created during the periods BEFORE they throw the economy into the crapper.

Neat system....for them.

The USA has had six national banks (that is to say banks that controlled the amount of money in circulation) but we're only managed to get rid of those parasites five times. Today the cabaL CONTROLLING the amount of money in the economy is called the FEDERAL RESERVE, which most of us already understand is neither FEDERAL not a RESERVE.

Unless our government getx rid of the FED and takes back the right to control the money supply, these banksters will continue to be the MASTERS and the rest of us WILL BE their economic slaves.

Now some of you folks on the right sense that something like this is going on, and most of you are calling that socialism.

Fair enough, call it whatever you want but as long as you RECOGNIZE the nature of how the masters control the economy, you're ahead of the game.


The left tends to call that kind of scam fascism, but again, that isn't exactly the right political science term either because our nation isn't being controlled by ALL THE CORPORATIONS, our economy (hence our society) is merely being manipulated by the BANKSTERS' CORPORATIONS.


When people calling themselves conservatives and people calling themselves liberals finally understand the nature of the system, then perhaps TOGETHER we can wrest control over the specie back to CONGRESS..back where it really and truly ALWAYS belonged.

The DEBT BASED economic system IS the scam, folks.

It is guranteed to grant the real power in society to whomsoever controls the amount of money in circulation.

 

[naturegirl]

Ahhh, the left fails to see they are programmed to believe the bigger the government the better the US will be. The people are just too stupid to do things for themselves so the government must step in to protect them.

I think MuadDib, made some very good points. Keep in mind, the bigger the government; the smaller the working class.

I would also make the point that if you have to make a choice between food and housing or a new tattoo or body piercing, it's a no-brainer.

Bill Clinton:
"When I signed the Welfare Reform Act in 1996, requiring able-bodied people who could work to do so, there was legitimate concern that there would not be jobs available for them because they tended to be under-educated and to have less experience, and tha when the economy slowed down, as it inevitably would, they would be the first laid off. While there have been some problems, welfare reform has been largely successful. The welfare rolls have dropped nearly 60%, more than 7 million people, by the time I left office, and have continued to drop since. In 2000, the percentage of Americans on welfare reached its lowest point in four decades. During the economic downturn of 2001, many of those who came off the welfare rolls were able to stay in the workforce in part due to policies designed to help them succeed",

In addition, Census Bureau data show that between 1993 and 2000, the percentage of low-income, single mothers with a job grew from 58 percent to nearly 75 percent, an increase of almost 30 percent.Welfare Reform in the United States Requires Welfare Recipients to Go to Work - 23k

In 1997 Obama opposed an Illinois welfare-reform bill, proposed by Republican senator Dave Syverson, which sought to move as many people as possible off the state welfare rolls and into paying jobs.
Obama's Voting Record and Policy Positions Prior to His Election As President - Discover the Networks


Despite its success, or perhaps because of it, President Obama and his allies are doing all they can to destroy welfare reform. Mr. Obama’s $862 billion stimulus package last February essentially abolished welfare reform by subsidizing the expansion of welfare rolls. The federal government now pays states 80 percent of the cost for each new family they add to their welfare rolls, a move that eliminates states’ incentive to push welfare recipients into the job force.

Partly as a consequence of the infusion of federal welfare funds, welfare rolls increased in 2009 for the first time since PRWORA was enacted, growing 5 percent as 200,000 more
Americans were added.

Same reason they do anything. Votes.

We have the richest 'poor' in the world.

 

[Katzndogz]

We have the richest 'poor' in the world.

That's not the point. The point is, the poor are quite poor compared to the wealthy whom they envy.

 

[tjvh]

We have the richest 'poor' in the world.

And the most obese.

It IS the point. Most of the wealthy people the poor envy so much got wealthy through hard work, and education. Anyone can "choose" between long hours of STUDY, or long hours of PLAYSTATION 3, in choosing the latter I'd say they arguably have given up the right to bitch about it.

 

[naturegirl]

The Democrats don't want to help them, they want them to stay put, they need their vote. The Republicans want to help them stand on their own.

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

Wrong. Democrats want to help them.

Republicans want to:

Suppress their vote No they want legal US Citizens to vote so their vote matters

Let them starve Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, teach him to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime. Keeping someone on the government dole doesn't help them, it makes them slaves for their vote.

Make sure they can never get an education Let's get education back to where it was before so every Johnny, Susie, Dick and Jane earn their grades. They aren't given passing grades to "keep from hurting their feelings". All the money in the world can't make someone WANT to learn.

Let them die No this is ACA, if they're over 50 and need a kidney transplant they'll have to weigh the benefits of "letting them get it" .

Grind them down into the dirt Not sure what you mean by this but Dems want a chosen few to stay "below poverty level, dirt poor" so they can "give them free stuff" for their vote.

Not something that can be denied.

 

[tjvh]

Naturegirl... The Democrats know that, they just don't want their voting base to know that. They'd rather the poor stay put, until they are needed to be "counted" on Election day.
