Ten myth busting facts about welfare

[danielpalos]

yes; Bad management and not Good management will do that via public policy as well as private policy.

yep; the Left is still blaming failed ideology on bad management

ideology is management. there was nothing preventing the former Soviet Union from engaging us in an industrial automation race after the Space Race, merely to improve the efficiency of their economy and implement their version of supply side economics.

Capitalism built this country, it should be left alone. If you don't want to work a minimum wage job then you should have stayed your ass in school and got an education. The way I see it, employees negotiate their contract with an employer and if they aren't happy with it then they can look for employment elsewhere. Why should I have to pay you fifteen dollars to do a job that Joe down the street will do for ten?

Capitalism did not build this country; that required socialism.

The way I see it; if you don't understand the concepts, it must just be crony forms of capitalism at work.

A Short History of American Capitalism: INTRODUCTION

Capital was used to build this country; but capitalism could never accomplish what socialism has, with the United States of America.

And so they did. American capitalists had almost a free hand in gaining control of a country unimaginably rich in natural resources. In straight-out contests of strength with both organized and unorganized workers American capitalists usually triumphed. State violence, judge-made law, compliant legislatures, and administrative procedures were arrayed effectively against challenges from below.

Socialism is destroying the country.

Can you name a single successful civilization that doesn't pay taxes for roads, police, energy infrastructure and at least the great ones science institutions??? America has never done without at least some government.

No one is saying that we shouldn't have a government. Stop with the dramatics!

yes; Bad management and not Good management will do that via public policy as well as private policy.

The difference being that when you have bad management in the private sector, the management is held responsible and might even be terminated.

But we are. You are just ignorant, and oblivious. No social program has ever helped me, and every single one of them has hurt me. I can see it on my pay check. It's called "taxes". I'd be way better off without them.

Guy, nothing hurts you except your own backwardness and superstition. That and you are batshit crazy.

You say that loss of religion is a good thing, and yet everything is getting worse. One in every 10 Americans is now on antidepressants.

you mean we are using SCIENCE to treat depression instead of Superstition? That's kind of awesome.

By what measure would you say things have improved?

As for me, I'm fine. But then, I know G-d is alive and well in heaven. So I'm a mute point. What about the rest of society?

If your belief in an Invisibile Sky Pixie is what keeps you from being more of a douchebag than you already are, good on you man.

So when I point out a fact, you resort to ignorance and ad hominem attacks? Is this your idea of intellectual atheism?

People were using drugs to get high, long before we slapped a prescription label on it.

More importantly to popping pills over the place..... why? Why do people need so many pills? Why are so many depressed? The numbers keep going up, and yet according to you, the loss of moral values is good. Why the contradiction? Answer that.

Ironically, you have been a complete jerk in this thread. Why didn't your lack of belief, allow you to be a better man? Maybe this is why more people are on drugs than ever before?
