I just wish people would be honest instead of pretending to care . . . just say what you mean. I'm a greedy **** and I don't care about poor people. I would rather keep all of my money to myself than have one iota of it spent on those scumbags.

I think instead of focusing on and attacking your fellow Americans who are less fortunate, it is time that we started to examine our tax dollars that are sent out of the country.
Please Lady. I'm in the top income tax bracket. Why is it that the folks who pay 86% of all the income tax in this country are told by those who pay no income tax at all that they are not paying their fair share? Mind Boggling.
Are you kidding? I pay taxes too, buddy. You aren't so special. Once that tax money leaves your hands, it becomes OUR money. That's right.

Now, it can go to all the stupid things that lobbyists like and want, or it can go to a good cause like helping those less fortunate than you. Given the fact that there are more than 300 million people in this country (and counting), and there are not NEARLY that many jobs available, anyone with even half a brain could see that we, unfortunately, are always going to have jobless or those who are underemployed. That's life, and no one ever said it was going to be "fair." I'm sure many, many poor people would much rather be in your shoes. Perhaps you should be more grateful for what you have and think about those who have MUCH less for a change. It would be refreshing to hear from a conservative who doesn't despise the poor.
Actually I prefer to choose for myself who gets my money. Organizations such as the DAV, the American Red Cross, St. Jude's Children's Hospital, Waterfront Mission, etc. Since I'm also a hated Christian by you folks, I also support my church through its outreach efforts. The churches in my area mobilized to render aid to the victims of Ivan, Katrina, etc. But don't let me stop you from telling others what they should do.
I'm like Donald Trump in the fact that we really do have a bunch of stupid people running this country. They negotiate us right into the poor house. They don't think anything through or take a widescreen view of any thing. Take Obamacare for instance. Yes, it did provide a means of acquiring health insurance for a number of folks. It also did a whole lot of collateral damage.
Obamacare resulted in a huge increase in the rolls of Medicare, Medicaid, disability recipients, SSI recipients, EBT recipients, etc., while decreasing the total numbers of folks within the workforce. It also stymied wages for workers, shut down some small businesses, decreased small business startups, increased the rolls of persons holding part-time employment, and stymied the growth of existing businesses. Meanwhile many of those who did receive medical coverage under Obamacare cannot use their insurance because of the high deductibles placed upon them. But it's exactly what you Liberals wanted.
