The Basic Democrat Program

[Vox]

In your opinion, are all recipients of federal largess sufficiently humble? I know how much fun it is for you to kick a single mother in the teeth, but have you considered those for whom the tax codes have been slanted?

single mothers with their hordes of fatherless children are the perpetuum mobile of the entitlement society and generational laziness and irresponsibility

there are others, obviously.
any healthy, able-bodied adult should not be on a permanent government assistance program. PERIOD.

Perhaps if Social Conservatives had not closed family planning clinics, they would not be saddled with so many children. But, in the Conservative world, you're damned if you do and damned if you don't.

REPEATING - it is NOT the responsibility of the taxpayer to feed the children - it is the responsibility of the PARENTS.
It is also not the responsibility of the taxpayer to provide birth control - it is free in the PP- so already provided by taxpayers. Go get it or say no, or learn how to plan your life.
It is not the responsibility of the taxpayer to do anything for you - it is sole responsibility of YOU.

The folly of goverment "compassion" is illustrated by the biggest folly of all, Social Security, but you have to look at what it really was and is, to see it.

At the time SS was created, there was a culture in this country that we took care of our elders. When Grandma or Grandpa retired, it was customary that if they didn't have the resources to sustain themselves, one of their adult children would take them in (in my case it was my family of 7 moving into the old "castle" with Grandma, who couldn't pay to keep it up any more). Many middle-class families also had an Aunt or an Uncle in similar circumstances, who didn't have any kids who could help out. They lived in the back bedroom upstairs. (Do any of you young people wonder why the City houses are so big? That's why).

And this was NOT a hardship on the family, but a part of life that benefitted normal people, through developing a great relationship with an older person who loved the family.

But there was some small percentage of the elderly who, for one reason or another, didn't have those resources, and when they were too old to work and didn't have savings or other resources, became pathetic figures, begging on the streets for whatever they could get.

So to take care of this very small number of unfortunates, the Roosevelt Administration re-wrote the U.S. Constitution (see, Tenth Amendment), and created a program that encompassed the entire working population. Does this sound familiar?

And over the course of a couple generations, that program has resulted in the abandonment of the culture of care for the elderly (They can take care of themselves now!), sucked billions upon billions of dollars out of the economy, where it was supposed to be stored in a "trust fund" (what a joke that was), and now it goes to subsidize the retirements of scores of millions of people who truly could take care of themselves, and it threatens to bankrupt the country.

But as with any Democrat initiative, there are now hordes of people who would be "lost" without their SS checks, so EVERYBODY has to pay about 14% of their earnings into this monstrosity of a Ponzi-scheme fund, and we - the rest of us - forget two uncomfortable facts: If we die early, we don't get shit back from the government, and if we had been able to INVEST that money for our entire working lives, it would now be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions, rather than the couple thou a month we hope to collect from the government.

Remember the most important thing about government programs: GOVERNMENT AS NO MONEY! Every dollar we "get" from the government has to be taken out of some other sucker's...er... taxpayer's pocket, and for most working people, we are the "other person" whose pocket is being picked.

SS is NOT government "compassion".

It is funded by taxpayer ponzi scheme which need the givers to the system be more prevalent than the takers.

Right now we are about even. In 10 years SS will have negative balance - and that will be the end of it.
Or the end of the murderous idiocy known as "the right to chose"

Wait a minute, are you engaging in the same analysis you swore was misleading just 3 posts ago?
How many family planning clinics were closed? How many people do not know how babies are made? Seriously? You need to get around lower class people more. They have cell phones and shit. They use the internet. They know these things and how to get shit for free.
So don't blame conservatives for closing down clinics that were never closed.

Funny McDonalds is actually taking from the public and not a peep of outrage but some lady trying to feed her kids will receive a full on attack.

Welcome to bizarro land

McDonald's does not take from the public. Another lie drummed into you by the media.
How is some lady trying to feed her kids by demanding the gov't do it for her worthy of any sympathy?

A report released earlier this month written by economists at UC Berkeley and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign found that more than half of families of fast-food workers receive some form of public assistance, costing the nation $7 billion a year.
