Correction : “many want something better”
And immigration ain’t cheap, eh.
That isn't fair, two paid in but only one gets paid out. I chose my husband's, so I lost the money I paid in. I don't want to hear anyone complaining to me about people collecting their social security money they paid in.
seriously, when the avg citizen that busts his a$$ for a paycheck, makes a decent living and yet still qualifies for a gimme, why should he not take it, when its going to be given to a welfare queen or illegal anyway ???
this citizen IS nickeled and dimed to death with taxes and fees and regs at every level of gubmint, in every product and service he uses and gets no relief thru the ballot box...just an every prohibitive state, and yet more taxes fees and permission slips to live his life...
we should take every penny we qualify to get, and call it a BLOAT fund...
it was foolish for mittens to speak as though the 47% are insignifigant, and arent 'his' people...when the reality is that even those who are paying the lions share of fed income tax are getting screwed by the same pols that wont cut gubmint with a friggin meataxe...
and these fools are lapping up the R&R gravy of blaming the people that are simply taking whats offered...
welfare queens are a problem...the welfare industrial complex is THE problem...
I don;t see the point of getting into a general discussion NOW on the moral pros and cons of supporting a certain form of welfare just because it was promised for holding a job for some period of time. We can save that one for later,
To me the key point is that R+R are playing both sides and getting caught. Praising then insulting this group of ‘moochers’ to appease two groups at the same time. This is what happens when you believe in nothing. Alternatively Clinton could easily get away with it.

Unfreakin believable!
Yes, if you look at that “clock” carefully, you will notice some very interesting things:
*) Remember when they used to tell us that by the time we will draw Social Security there would be only two people working for every person getting a check => US Retirees and SSI is at about 68mil, about half of the US Workforce at 142mil.
*) The Small Business Assets clock is now running backwards!!!
*) Actual Unemployed is almost 2X the Official Unemployed
*) Citizens, with average per capita assets of about $300-thousand, have a $51-thousand National Debt share, and future Liabilities of over $500-thousand -— bringing to mind our Grandparents admonition of getting blood out of a turnip!!!
I expect, sooner than later, that we’re going to implement Jerry Pournelle’s “Welfare Island” concept.
It was background to some fiction, but basically America gets divided into two classes: Citizens and Taxpayers. You don’t pay taxes you live in “Welfare Islands”: huge buildings where you live, are fed, and kept entertained with TV, booze, and drugs. If you work hard at it, you CAN get out of them. . .but most don’t bother.
Twenty years ago, it was purely fictional. How long until something like it actually emerges ???
I suppose that's considered heroic as long as you don't then turn around and call other people out on the situation.
The Mittbots just gotta' be besides themselves with confusion and grief over this.
What I need to know is how many Mittbots are also trailer trash and tax evaders? Anyone have an ideas. Then, anyone have any idea how they can possibly vote against their economic interests?
The clock does not contain a segment for UNITED STATES FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ASSETS
More troubling is that there are the same pecentage of citizens on food stamps as are on Soc Sec......
The parents and children DID NOT become freeloaders by moving Grandpa and Grandma in!
BTW, those used to be Conservative values ~ to take care of your own people first. Now we have a crowd, apparently being led by Romney and Hannity, who are condemning the practice.
They didn’t become freeloaders by moving in .... just when it became permanent with a mental attitude of this is how I should be supported.
A conservative value is to lend a helping hand or a hand up which allow them to move out and up. Hand outs almost always lead to dependency and essentially financial and moral slavery.
I'm not on food stamps, my house is paid for, my late model car is paid for, I pay something like $250 a month for Medicare supplement insurance and seldom go to the doctor to “drain” Medicare money. I also have enough preps to last a year so I won't be using government resources to keep me alive. I basically want the govn. and others who resent seniors sucking up so called govn. benefits, to leave me the hell alone.
