I cell phone is not a necessity then why do they get them free when your on welfare

[Luissa]

On our dime.. Tired of all these freebies. Who would want to better themselves when they get everything for free

Why Are Some People Getting Free Cell Phones Through Taxpayer Money? | Fox News Insider

I call bullshit on this part.

e continued, saying that through the program, some people are getting “two and three, 10 and 20 and 30 cell phones and you’re paying for it!” He went on to say that if you look at your phone bill, you will see a line that reads Universal Service Fee, which is the tax that pays for this program.

They always claim that bullcrap about taxpayer money. This started with the elderly who couldn't afford phone service, the phone companies actually give them the device with limited service.

I remember hearing about a senior citizen who froze to death because he couldn't afford to pay the electric bill, I'm sure there are many other examples. Everyone should be afforded the most basic needs like a phone, heat, food, etc.

The Republicans can take some of those corporate give aways to pay for it.

 

[Neotrotsky]

miltary gets them.......why do you hate the military.

Well, they work for them
is one difference

NO they don't. They are donated and they get them for free stupid...

The military doesn't work
Sure, put that there in with the Democrats' Moms don't work

Q: Has the Obama administration started a program to use "taxpayer money" to give free cell phones to welfare recipients?

A: No. Low-income households have been eligible for discounted telephone service for more than a decade. But the program is funded by telecom companies, not by taxes, and the president has nothing to do with it.

FactCheck.org : The Obama Phone?

Who cares? Obama and taxpayers have nothing to do with it.

That is a misleading title in the link. And your statement is also misleading.

Everyone who pays a phone bill pays a Universal Service Fee. That fee is what pays for the free phones.

So the cost does come out of our pockets.

You think the phone companies don't pass the cost on to their paying customers?

Watch out, you're getting dangerously close to making a case for Universal healthcare.

 

[RDD_1210]

Why should anyone want to improve themselves when they get a $50 a month cell phone?

The problem with this country is the poor people don't suffer enough

That's a fact, Jack. If they actually had to suffer, or maybe be ashamed of sponging off of other people, they might not be "poor". They might find a way to drag themselves out and do something to support themselves.

You better watch out, you're offending at least half of your fellow conservatives on this site who themselves are poor, but obviously they are somehow different than the people you're referring to.

I was not commenting on the OP. I was stating the hypocrisy of rightwinger. Progressives believe in "Useless Eaters"..."Global Warming"..."Peak Oil"...etc. Yet they want to give away free Air Conditioning to people who never work up a sweat or have to keep from sweating through their suit at work. They can just wear shorts & sit in front of a fan while they watch TV, surf their free internet, or wait for the big job call on their free cell phone.

I'm with you good buddy

Poor people should live in tents and be forced to eat road kill

they should be taught to be self sufficient
Give a man dog, you only feed him for one day
Teach to how to hunt dog, you feed him for a lifetime

Let him eat ***** and he is happy for the rest of his life

 

[Neotrotsky]

Cat, as a food

I am not sure

What does Papa Obama's book
say about cat as food?

 

[Harry Dresden]

I hear poor people even get air conditioning on my taxes

Why can't poor people just sweat?

is he at least paying for the Electric bill?......or is that on my tab too?.....

Not only do the poor get air conditioning, I hear they get color TV and microwave ovens

How can the poor be expected to improve themselves if they live in such luxury?

well compared to poor elsewhere yea the US poor seem to have all those things....now let me ask you a question RW.....what is your opinion of those "poor" people who take advantage of other peoples generosity and abuse the **** out of what they are getting?.....do you make excuses for them or are you in favor of telling them they are on their own....and dont tell me they dont exist,or they are very rare.....they exist,and there are more out there then most people know.....some have been doing it for years and look at it like a job....

Thanks for that. IOWS, the OP author, and the rubes who bought into it, are just lying pieces of shit.

geezus Dick....there was just a thread on you and how you are a lying piece of shit.....hey just saying.....

 

[Nosmo King]

Did an industry group (cell phone manufacturers and/or service providers) get their lobbyists to get this act pushed through Congress? Blame the poor for getting cell phones, but ignore the power behind the throne.

That being said, I could be the last person in America who, although I can afford one, does not have a cell phone. And I never will have a cell phone. I think that cell phones turn people into dicks. They text while driving, they ignore face to face contact when that phone rings, they interrupt movies and concerts. I saw a girl answer her cell phone and carry on with a pleasant conversation at a funeral home while standing before the casket.

As my sainted Pop used to say as he watched people ignore one another in a restaurant while chatting on the cell phone, "What the hell do they have to talk about that could be more pressing than their own dinner guest?"

It's a murkin thang. I could never understand.

FCC Wants $25 Million for Cell Phone Subsidy Program 'Fraught with Fraud'

A decades-old FCC program, one the government concedes is easy to cheat, wants $25 million in funding for a new initiative to provide low-income families with free broadband Internet access—and the funds will come from your cell phone bill.​

In fact, it is their worst enemy

That is the very reason we should not have welfare programs. If some people abuse it, we should make all pay. That is the only way they will learn.
Make the poor people suffer and they will go out and get jobs. The more we make them suffer, the better jobs they will get

Agree

They should pay for their car
oh wait a minute, some states already do

Free cars for poor

The Patrick administration decided last month to funnel an additional $30,000 to the nearly $400,000 annual car ownership program.

The program, which is provided by the State Department of Transitional Assistance, gives out about 65 cars a year​

The state pays for the car’s insurance, inspection, excise tax, title, registration, repairs and a AAA membership for one year at a total cost of roughly $6,000 per car.​

This country loses more money from tax abusers than welfare abusers. Do we just ignore tax abusers?

Three generations on welfare which is no than a "sugar coated" slavery
Tell you how to live, give you your food, shelter - tries to kill the individual spirit
What we do know for sure, the left's system is not working

These poor people become dependent on the Democrats for survival and the Democrats on them for votes. This is the true suffering

Nothing more than a modern day version of "bread and circuses" (panem et circenses)
