Conservatives who attack welfare should be attacking corporate welfare.
The rich don’t need it. Its an expensive giveaway to special interests.
And what’s Obamacare? An expensive giveaway to special interests.
“The rich don’t need it. Its an expensive giveaway to special interests.”
Spoken like a true liberal. actually some so-called conservatives are not that far apart from liberals when it comes to attacking what they perceive as the “rich”. Of course corporations are not rich or poor. They are corporations with expenses and profits and pass on costs to you and me.
We do. But we don't have the bribe money that Obama does.
Agreed. We need to find common ground with the (small but nonzero) sensible left. We need to eliminate corporate welfare for the good of the country, not as a left-right issue.
We need to ally with the sensible left to improve election security - have the state governments that republicans control agree to pay for ID for those without an acceptable voter ID and have an ID van travel around the state (like a bookmobile) to bring the ID to potential voters, but require photo ID for regular and early voting, and perhaps a fingerprint for absentee ballots. Neutralize both the concern over disenfranchised voters and over voter fraud, so that anyone who objects is obviously doing so for corrupt reasons (the left is mostly doing so for corrupt reasons, but we should fix their valid complaint).
Perhaps we can even ally with the sensible left to fix the illegal alien problem. Those illegals who are working are taking jobs that would otherwise have gone to Americans, and that is an issue that patriotic Americans on the left (yes, there are still a few) and on the right right should agree on. Illegals who are not working are taking government benefits and diluting our ability to help Americans in need, or they are stealing and disproportionately hurting the poor and minorities.
The teacher unions hate common core, as do decent Americans. Perhaps we can ally with them and their supporters to kill it and return local autonomy to school districts.
