What Americans want…

[eddiew]

Taking from the poor like with this medicade transfer of wealth to billionaires, meets with your approval?? It does with most repubs

Trickle down, baby, trickle down!

Yeah That worked so well.......Rich made out like bandits

 

[Rustic]

Those socialist countries are living off other peoples money… Sooner or later it will dry up

Other peoples' money is how the system works.

Yes, that's how Socialism works taking money from one group of people, giving it to the government. Then the government giving a very small portion of it to another group of people.

Taking from the poor like with this medicade transfer of wealth to billionaires, meets with your approval?? It does with most repubs

I don't want rich peoples money, but I have no problem earning their money from them.
I would expect the same in reverse…
Just existing does not entitle anyone to do anything…

So in other words, you're living off other peoples' (your boss') money.

See how it works?

Not what the federal government wants for Americans.

Obamacare is what the federal government wants for Americans... so much for any sort of freedom and individuality. Let's hope that changes soon... lol

America in deep sheet Thank you Republicans

America leads the world when it comes to access to higher education. But when it comes to health, environmental protection, and fighting discrimination, it trails many other developed countries, according to the Social Progress Imperative, a U.S.-based nonprofit.

The results of the group’s annual survey, which ranks nations based on 50 metrics, call to mind other reviews of national well-being, such as the World Happiness Report released in March, which was led by Norway, Denmark, and Iceland, or September’s Lancet study on sustainable development. In that one, Iceland, Singapore, Sweden, and the U.S. took spots 1, 2, 3, and 28—respectively.

The Social Progress Index released this week is compiled from social and environmental data that come as close as possible to revealing how people live. “We want to measure a country’s health and wellness achieved, not how much effort is expended, nor how much the country spends on healthcare,” the report states. Scandinavia walked away with the top four of 128 slots. Denmark scored the highest. America came in at 18.

When you make life better for the poor you make life better for all

This is true, but you don't do it with handouts. The government will never make life better, That's the job of capitalism.
That's why Socialism has never worked long term in the history of the planet… It brings out the worst in people

Capitalism doesn´t work. Over time, it accumulates all the money into a single hand. Therefore the government is required to regulate the free market. If it doesn´t, the system will crash due to a lack of purchasing power.

That's the purpose of a capitalist republic... what this country is supposed to be. Unfortunately the cancer Socialism has infected this country…

It does seem like the only ones to make gains these past 20-30 years have been the wealthy

I would say the ambitious, and self-motivated more so.
You know? The ones that refuse handouts early in life. I started refusing handouts about at 17 years old when I left the Indian reservation. It has served me well.
The easiest thing in the world to do is live within your means and spend less than you make - imagine that those are the "wealthy people"

This is AMERICA damnit, there's no place for compassion here!

Besides, rich people need their money.

WTF is medicade?

Medicaid is a health care program that assists low-income families or individuals in paying for long-term medical and custodial care costs. Medicaid is a joint program, funded primarily by the federal government and run at the state level, where coverage may vary.

The real wages stayed the same or even sank but we don´t notice because all the stuff is now cheaply made in China. But it will fire back and we won´t be prepared.

People are not supposed to be "wealthy" at an early age, it's an earned privilege as it should be… Although there are some exceptions. But that's life...
The federal government is not an substitute for life experience... I know progressives don't want to hear that but that's the way it is.

Tiffany is doing great lots of million dollar homes being bought up markets sky high Rich get richer and the poor have babies NOW lets cut medicade to give billionaires a tax cut ? Is this what America really wants?

The problem with that shallow thinking, just giving it to the federal government or should i say letting the federal government take it does not result to wealth for the masses… LOL

If you're not happy working for somebody for your living, make your own living. I've been self-employed for 20+ years that has made me debt free for 20+ years.
In other words that has made me financially independent...

If I can do it anybody can, I grew up on the Indian reservation, literally on a dirt floor. With no running water, no air conditioning, and a 40-year-old stove for heat and cooking.
