Any rational person would assume that when things like welfare and food stamps (EBT cards now) were still on the drawing board, they would have put explicit restrictions on where and how the funds could be spent. The only conclusion one can draw is that these programs were designed at the get-go to be easily defrauded.
The so-called “rich” are paying exactly what the tax laws allow. If their net taxes are lower than 30% then it is because they have approved deductions and expenses. Deductions and expenses put into law by our legislative process. This process has created a monumentally complex and contradictory mass of laws and regulations, all to ensure that we pay our “fair” share.
To somehow claim that the “rich” are not paying enough because it is not “fair” is ignorant. So we have ignorant Democrats wanting to increase taxes to make sure the rich are paying their “fair” share, when the rich are already, by tax law, paying their “fair” share. It is too challenging for the Democrats to look into the tax code and see where the “loopholes” exist so they can close them by due process. The “fair share” is a moving target.
As a result taxpayers are denied the ability to spend the money they earned on causes they approve and support. Instead the politicians use the money taken from them to enrich themselves, their friends, and to buy votes.

Well, not on the Savage thread, but I have had plenty of foul remarks from other “pseudo” Freepers.
They are mostly those that have no choice but to stay.
My usual reply is “What would the founding fathers say?”
After all, they left THEIR countries for a new and better life.
My other reply is “I did not leave the country. The country left me.”
Buh-Rock is a nice guy? W. T. F.?
Savage likes Obama as a PERSON? he doesn’t seem like a bad guy even tho he is destroying the country!??
another WTF moment

St. Romney? Too clean!?!
I would ‘click’ too but I stuck here at work til 8. Pfffffft on the sainted one. Did the Doc forget about Santorum? Seems so...
Yep it’s me MARY LOU LEVIN(e)

Because Savage is in hour 2 and they want it to be live.
EBT card holder buys your groceries along with their stuff and you pay them cash (at adiscount) for your groceries. EBT holder buys beer and ciggies or drugs. Everybody happy!

If you own a house and are piss poor and just barely making the mortgage payments you are PUNISHED!
if you act like a worthless piece of garbage and never try to own your own home or even work a job, you get everything handed to you

Even the devil can quote scripture.
I am no fan of Romney , but like Savage , Trump and others I think he has the best chance of beating Obama despite Romneycare and his Mormon faith that some people are uneasy with . He’ll lose some Conservatives but will pull in a greater number of indies and even some disillusioned Dems . If the Dems get away with massive voter fraud as is expected it may be impossible for anyone to beat the usurper .
