thanks kcmcdonald, for picking up where I left off with this jellyminded fool, Your Rock!
You better thank him for standing up for you, God knows you couldn't defend your own positions.
Dems do a dissservice to the poor in this country.
The poor need some sort of boost. If all they know in life is poverty and truly believe that society is constantly pushing them down, they need a hand and the dems are there to help.
Why work and send your kids to school when you can sit back and collect money and induldge in other activities non-work related.
First, the amount of money is really very little, so I would imagine living off a couple hundred a week would not be the life. And in many cases a person doesn't just get to nothing, they have to do some work for their welfare. Let me ask you a question, do you also hate gov't handouts going to the wealthy in the form of tax cuts and money used to entice companies to stay here in america?
Well you might say school, you might say crime, you might say drugs. Guess what the Dem's are weak on all these issues. Who inistiated(spelling) vouchers? republicans. Who want's more cops on the streets? republicans. Who is waging a war on drugs? republicans
How exactly are the Dems weak on school, crime and drugs? Republicans and Demacrats passed the No Child Left Behind bill, but its the dems who want it to be funded so it can actually do something. There has been no proof that vouchers are a good thing, which is why isn't used. Just think about the poor kids, they'll still be worst off than the rich kids, if we let the kid use 4,000 to any school, but the private school's tuition is 4500, guess what, the poor kid is stuck right where he started while the rich or middle class kid could spare 500. Vouchers would create an even larger gap between rich and poor, which is what John Edward's "Two America's" speech is about, not producers and losers fighting.
Give me a link to a nonpartisan website showing that dems want fewer cops on the street.
The war on drugs is a joke. How do we Americans expect to fight a war on drugs when we are the largest consumers! It simply doesn't work, so even if dems don't want to fight the war on drugs is true, it will not matter.
