Painting ACORN the poor victim here for under paying and exploiting workers that need to support their families. As usual your posts are not worth reading. ACORN should be charged by the labor department for exploiting these workers. Do you know that ACORN gave these workers no compensation whatsoever for the expenses that they incurred to to this little eight dollar an hour job? Nothing, nada, they did not even cover the gas bills these workers paid to put in their cars to roam around to the different locations that they were suppose to get these voter registrations filled out. When you abuse folks who need to support their their families you push them to do extreme things. ACORN has boasted about actually caring for these people when really all they did was exploit them and use them.
You say that as if Republicans care what happens to poor people. Better they earn 8 bucks than nothing at all. If Republicans have their way, those people won't even have that. Notice how Republicans offer no alternatives, ever?
Republicans are politicians. Conservatives will tell you that you can only advance by hard work, improving yourself (education, socially, spiritually), and 'paying the dues'. It is the only way to have a productive society. Individuals are responsible for finding a job. Once they have the job, the same individual is responsible for keeping the job (paying the dues). At that point it is up to the individual to stay where they are with that job or to try to get a better job. If they do NOTHING to improve themselves, the individual can stay where they are and cling to their job, complaining that the boss isn't doing anything for them or they can loose their job.
My understanding of liberals: some 'groups' (discrimminitory) are incapable of doing the above on their own and the 'gov' must therefore take 'care' of them. To do this, the gov must take wealth from the taxpayers (many of which come from those same 'groups', that are taking care of themselves and their families without help from the 'almighty' gov). If it is pointed out that you believe these 'groups' can take care of themselves, the libs call you: racist, sexist, uncaring, bigoted...etc, etc, etc. When you point out that the libs are limiting civil rights by increasing the size of gov (taking more away from taxpayers), you are called worse names.
The libs have some great ideas. It would be refreshing to see one work, before they subjected the entire country to paying for another program that will add to the deficit, add to the corruption, and not do one thing to improve the lives of citizens.
