Hey, Corey, you blockhead. Educate yourself (assuming that is possible). The way to lift poor kids out of poverty is not to hand them money, but to train them for a job. It helps if they have parents who will instill a strong work ethic in their kids. So if you really want to help out, go lecture the parents of the poor kids rather than rob other people of their money.

You blockhead.

Do the children have to be citizens?

No mention of that in the write ups I've seen.

Booker’s got to do something to take the attention away from that dead girl/live boy problem he has as a sex abuser.

I think cory booker should donate his marvelous brain to science TODAY!. The scientific community could learn alot from his freshly harvested brain. Its a travesty that brain is barely used by him and it would be such a great gift to humanity!

If they give the kids money, what will be the kids’ reason for the playing Knock Out Games and assaulting of old people?

No problem, I am 69, I am self identifying as a kid, a poor kid. I mean we have men as women, women. as men, blacks as white and white as blacks, Warren is a Native American and for a moment Booker had a Spartacus moment.

With the right connections, the 50k could be quadrupled in a month or less.

Booker wants to teaching children not Toledo. He doesn’t want them to feel the pride of earning something.

“Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) is introducing a bill aimed at closing that gap.”

What an interesting way to avoid saying “steal”.

Why not give them money? It’s the quickest way to destroy a person’s dignity, spirit and drive. Tell them they can’t make it without being given a pittance from the govt. to subsidize them.

It’s ridiculous and the exact wrong msg to send to people. That’s why I’m totally not surprised that it’s coming from a liberal, know-nothing democrat like Retardicus.

FORCED, MARXIST-INSPIRED WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION. It is either a control mechanism, keeping black people in subjection (slavery) to the government—in which the government will bureaucratically waste the money into oblivion and then demand more . . . or give the money directly to people who will waste it themselves, because they didn’t earn it.

The present education system does not teach ANYTHING about smart money management, as was the case BEFORE Jimmy Cahtuh’s Federal Indoctrination Department came into existence.

Give a hood kid that kind of money, and they will be dead in a week from an overdose!!
Or they will pay somebody to get rid of a local nuisance, forever.

Tune in to Laura Ingraham right now, she’s about to do a segment on Cory Booker allegedly sexually assaulting a gay man in a bathroom.

"His idea is to give lower-income kids a sizable nest egg (nearly $50,000 in some cases) that they could use for wealth-building purchases, like a down payment on a house or college tuition."
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

Not only does Sen. Booker evidently not understand that the Founding States gave the express constitutional authority to originate appropriations bills uniquely to the House of Representatives(1.7.1), but consider the following.

Sen. Booker also doesn’t seem to understand that the states uniquely have the 10th Amendment-protected power to tax and spend for kids, depending on the threshold of pain of a given state’s taxpayers.

More specifically, since the states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds the specific power to tax and spend for the purpose of giving kids nest egg accounts, what post-17th Amendment ratification Sen. Booker is wrongly wanting to do is to pay for these Democratic vote-winning kid’s accounts with stolen state revenues, such revenues stolen by means of unconstitutional federal taxes.

"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States."—Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.


In fact, until patriots support Pres. Trump in stopping Congress from stealing state revenues, the states probably couldn't support kids this way even if they wanted to.

The remedy for constitutionally low-information senators like Booker ...

Patriots now need to exercise their voting muscle to not only fire career federal lawmakers left over from the lawless Obama Administration, replacing them with patriot lawmakers who will not only vote to kill unconstitutional appropriations bills like the one that Sen. Booker is proposing, but who will also support Trump’s vision for MAGA.
