The other side of welfare

[bill718]

1. Conservatives love to dwell on welfare and food stamps. They use terms like "paying people not to work" and "welfare queens" but what about the other side of welfare? Below are welfare topics conservatives never want to discuss:
   
   
   
   Paying farmers not to grow crops: A substitute for agricultural price support programs designed to ensure that farmers could always sell their crops for enough to support themselves. This big government, socialist program has been supported by Conservative farmers for decades.
   
   Corporate Welfare - Nike 2.3 billion, Chrysler 2.02 billion, General Motors 3.05 billion, Intel 3.87 billion, Alcoa 5.64 billion, Boeing 13.18 billion - Just a small sample of profitable companies who don't need the extra money, but happily tap the taxpayers for that extra cash every year.
   
   Red States have more welfare recipients - The states with the most per capita recipients are 80% red. They are: New Mexico, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Alabama.
   
   Red States receive substantially more federal aid than Blue States: Despite all the Republican sniveling about welfare sucking liberals the highest federal aid recipients are: Mississippi (45.3% of the state’s general fund budget), Louisiana (44, Tennessee (41 Michigan is in the middle of the pack, ranking No. 23.
   
   Many welfare recipients work: Over 45% of welfare recipients work at jobs, but are also eligible for welfare payments because wages for the working poor have not kept up with the cost of living.
   
   So - The next time you hear a conservative waxing lyrical about those "welfare sucking liberals" you might enlighten them regarding the other side of welfare.

And my all-time favorite: $1.4 trillion of annual tax expenditure wealth redistribution. Man oh man, the pseudocons scream like welfare queens when I talk about abolishing them.

 

[BluesLegend]

Red States have more welfare recipients

Yes Red states have a lot of poor Democrats. You forgot that part, I think we all know why.

 

[BluesLegend]

Yet another lie spun from dishonesty. Stay tuned for your next post when you claim the 'rich' don't pay their fair share.

Paying farmers not to grow crops:

LMAO, you just highlighted a bunch of democrat programs. BTW, in sky-blue CA, the leftist government has placed minimum prices on milk for many years instead of allowing the free market to work. This, of course, is responsible for taking milk off of the tables of lower income folks. You guys just don't think critically. Morons.

Jesus, what drivel.

Who does more to keep the economy going? A welfare queen or Businesses?

Helping farmers feeds more people than a welfare check to keep poor people dependent upon government handouts.

Helping businesses keep more people working and OFF of government dependent programs than a single check to someone who is more than capable of working for their own survival.

So, spin some more bovine scat because it stinks as lies.

It sounds like some kid who paid too much attention in his liberal social studies class. Those debunked talking points date back to the 1970's.

What do you have against putting food on the table?

Wise nations try to ensure a stable food supply

Welfare bums on the other hand consume the food that farmers produce

So I dont think the two groups are comparable

I know, but leftists can't help it with their emotionally stunted worldview.

To them, business (which feeds and houses millions through wages) are evil and government (which sucks the energy out of a vibrant economy) is their God.

Without the right growing the food the left would be fighting in the streets over scraps of rats and vermin.

They were told to hate corporations and businesses so they do like the mindless drones that they are. Meanwhile their Dem leaders live like kings and laugh.

Governments produce NOTHING.

Yes Red states have a lot of poor Democrats. You forgot that part, I think we all know why.

Red states have a lot of poor black people, and yes we do know why.

It is Democrats who pay farmers not to grow certain crops, because then it drives up food prices. And we all know Progressives hate happy people who are fed because happy people make babies.

Corporate welfare, is when corporations get to keep more of their money. Why is it bad that corporations get to keep more of their money, but people who dont work, get paid not to work.

Red states have blue cities in them, thus having more welfare because of the Democrat Policies in those blue cities.

People who only work minimum wage jobs, but get welfare on top of it, dont need to get better skills or more knowlege to make a higher wage, because they can be lazy flipping burgers for 10 bucks an hour and get $35,000 additional from welfare....

Want to play again?

Or killing themselves...oh wait a minute...that is happening in the black sectors of those Blue Cities almost every week.

 

[BluesLegend]

Blue states have a LOT MORE poor black people and yes we do know why.

Whataboutism....Not an argument.

Theft from the productive to feather the nests of the unproductive is still theft, your sanctimonious moralizing notwithstanding.

 

[Oddball]

Blue states have a LOT MORE poor black people and yes we do know why.

Red states generally have a greatly lower population density as well.....That phony fuck knows this fact, and is acting like he doesn't.
