hmmmmmmm, really?Many of them are simply confused.
"Finally, Cornell Universitys Suzanne Mettler points out that many beneficiaries of government programs seem confused about their own place in the system. She tells us that 44 percent of Social Security recipients, 43 percent of those receiving unemployment benefits, and 40 percent of those on Medicare say that they have not used a government program.http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/17/opinion/krugman-moochers-against-welfare.html?hp
Social Security, Unemployment Insurance and Medicare are all paid into by the recipients. Welfare and Food Stamps are not. That is what those people meant. I don't care what kind of dickweed propaganda you want to try and make out of it.
I also want to see where she got these supposed statistics. They look made up to me.
Or America-hating, Self-loathing...People vote Republican because they like paying higher taxes so the idle rich can pay less.
perhaps.......but at least they dont live in a state of perpetual misery
Opinions are not facts. Got any facts?I keep hearing about this alleged Republican desire for a "purely free market", but I've never seen any substantiation.Not arguing that, I think the point was about republican beliefs. Just because they haven't been able to implement their beliefs doesn't change what they desire. And todays conservative republicans are louder than ever with their wishes for a "purely free market", free from regulation and government oversight. Just because they don't get what they want doesn't mean they didn't want it in the first place.
Is it just one of those things "everybody knows"?
Yes, everybody but you:

The following is from: AlterNet Mobile Edition
Most Republican presidents of the last century were more socialistic than Barack Obama. Eisenhower built the federal highway system and presided over the IRS when the top marginal tax rate for high earners was 91 percent.
Nixon proposed a minimum guaranteed income for all Americans, which he called a negative income tax," without any Clinton-era preconditions like "workfare." It would have applied to all families with children, and passed Congress but failed in the Senate. Nixon also imposed wage and price controls in 1971to control inflation. These controls, while not considered traditionally socialistic, were a radical imposition of state control over the private-sector economy.
Even Herbert Hoover, who presided over the Crash of 1929 and is often contrasted with FDR, described himself as a progressive. He expanded the civil service, proposed a Department of Education and a guaranteed pension for all Americans, enlarged the national park system, ended private oil leases on government land, and formed an antitrust division within the Justice Department.
And, much as it irritates Republicans to be reminded of it, Ronald Reagan raised taxes 11 times.
Obama has proposed a reasonable $476 billion program of infrastucture repair, but he's avoided the kinds of bold initiatives put forward by his Republican predecessors: No Hoover-like litany of progressive reforms, no major public projects like Eisenhower's highways, no Nixon-style negative income tax. And he certainly hasn't responded to our ongoing economic crisis with any state interventions on the scale of Nixon's wage and price controls.
