free internet, free health care!
YES the POOR are so down trodden!
Absolutely NO OTHER country offers these luxuries to the "POOR"!!!
a) Free Cell phone (my cell phone I PAY is about $100/month)
if the poor person receives just one of the below:
Food stamps * Medicaid * Section 8 * Supplemental Security Income * National School Lunch Program
THEY GET A FREE CELL PHONE PAID BY ME FROM TAX ON MY CELL PHONE!
b) 40 million Americans on food stamps get $200/month in free food.
c)FREE RENT...
about 2.1 million households (6 million) use Section 8 the Housing Choice Voucher program, pays a large portion of the rents and utilities of or the Housing Choice Voucher Program up to $1,000 /month in FREE housing...
So these people get
=== $ 5,666 in EIC cash,
=== $12,000 free housing ,
=== $ 2,400 free food,
=== $ 1,200 in free cell phone plus
=== $ 5,000 a year in free health care from Medicaid.
So this is about $26,000 a year in FREE MONEY, free goods and free services...
THE '"POOR"!!!
You should be thankful to live in a nation so prosperous and generous that it can indeed make life a little better for the poor.
Perhaps you didn't get the memo...
WE'RE BROKE.
Then stop spending money defending South Korea and Europe for free. Stop letting the defense lobby bleed us dry.
OR, let's see the GOP nominate a candidate who will end all 'poverty' programs, period. Let's see the GOP try to win that election.
