Re: Why do you have a problem with people receiving GOV assistants but not corporations?
The assistance I mostly despise is for the lazy ass mother fuckers who have an EBT card but got the newest air jordons on their feet. And before you shout racist, that also applies to the trailer trash hoe with 10 kids by 10 different men and no desire to get their fat ass off the couch to find a job.

Corporations do create jobs, right? WTF does a lazy fucking 7th grade education level welfare recipient create? More babies hardwired to be like they mommy!

Re: Why do you have a problem with people receiving GOV assistants but not corporations?
The bottom line folks is that the productive sector of society is being parasited by the government to support all the non productive ones. That will last until the productive ones stop complying then everything will merely collapse.
Banned as usual.

Only Real Men can with safety destroy the tangled forests and wilderness of Earth and make from them gardens, but will those who inherit the gardens be Real Men? The law decrees that they must be, or the wilderness will reclaim its own.”

Re: Why do you have a problem with people receiving GOV assistants but not corporations?
YES!! FINALLY!! SOME GET IT!!

The poor are not the problem, it is Corporate Welfare that is destroying this Nation!

That and the Fractional reserve fiat banking system, but nearly everyone uses it, so, in effect, we are all to blame.

FIAT money is the problem, but Gold standard is not the solution.

Demand lawful money per 12-USC 411 and end fractional reserves that finance ALL OF IT!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20901334


Nah you're stupid BOTH is the problem.
Your type also say "oh don't blame the illegals coming here raping and murder everyone only blame the politicians".

You don't give parasites are free pass, doesn't matter if they're a parasite company or some parasite that don't want to work, they're both parasites they BOTH need to be stopped.

People like you are the problem here because you are hampering the efforts to take away both groups by cutting the spending on them both. F*** both parasitegroups.

That has been the death of your land just like it's the death of my own country, all this sparing some of the criminals.

"Oh but his crime is much less serious", both crimes are serious both needs to be prosecuted. All of them, companies and people parasite, all of them needs to go to jail.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22832998


This. You are standing up and resisting the misdirection, and I thank you.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27304459


You are both IGNORANT, if you endorse the Federal Reserve System, you are just as much to blame for the debt and slave system it creates.

I am sick of the "working class" which I am, trying to blame others when they, in fact, are the group with the largest numbers, this means they (you) have the ability to STOP IT.

Demand lawful money and you will have an effect on the entire system.

Pointing fingers at others and not seeing YOUR personal role in all this is the problem, not the solution.

Misdirection, my ass, pointing to the people with the power to change by changing YOUR OWN ACTIONS, yes.

Demand lawful money per 12 usc 411 on every bank transaction and you will have a positive effect, everything else is misdirection.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20901334

Oh please, yes the Fed is sketchy, but it's sort of a different issue. If I get a job and demand to be paid in lawful money, they won't know what to do, maybe they won't pay me at all because they don't do "lawful money". I can take the FRNs and buy gold (better check it for tungsten core) or silver myself if I want, though.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 4496880


Really? Like who? And where?

And it's not just corporations that are the problem. It's the BANKS.

It's obvious as fuck you're a Democrat, since you are spewing the same, idiotic talking points about corporate welfare being the problem and avoiding to talk about THE BANKS.

So stop posting on the internet please. And yes, too much unregulated welfare hurts the poor as well.

Re: Why do you have a problem with people receiving GOV assistants but not corporations?
corporations are owned by people so it makes no real difference.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 271y14781


Actually it makes a real difference to the destitute and disabled folks who receive government assistance, such as it is. They get a tiny pittance each month - not enough to actually live decently, often not even enough to scrape by - but every little bit helps. These subsidies are often the last "firewall" between people and homelessness, starvation, and/or death.

The huge corporate welfare pigs (Oil, Big Ag, Finance, Defense, Pharma) get millions, sometimes billions, that are most definitely not a "firewall" keeping them from going out of business. It's just extra government pork gravy to them.

A lot of the people on this board are racists, misogynists, homophobes, religious zealots, etc. And a large number of them aim their hate at the specific demographic groups that are more likely to be destitute and relying upon government assistance. They would enjoy seeing this population starve and die, homeless in the streets. They use hateful urban legend/myths like the people on food stamps eating t-bone steaks all the time and the so-called welfare queens driving Cadillacs to help fuel their hate, even though they are fantasy.

I was on food stamps once, for a short time. It was only enough to buy oatmeal, peanut butter, rice, beans, mac & cheese, and once a week a can of salmon or tuna fish, if you were lucky. Not exactly eating high on the hog, like the corporate welfare queens do. More like leftover chitlins.

The idea that we are being over populated and we need to stop is just creepy.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17537156


We're overpopulated in the sense that there's more people than we can work to provide for. For instance, if we wanted to give a 1st world, middle class life to every person in this world, the 7 billion of them, we wouldn't have enough resources. And in the meantime the less developed, poorer and more ignorant peoples of this world keep breeding at high rates. We're not heading to any utopia following this path, we're heading for more conflict.
 Quoting: Manu-Koelbren


Man you have really done some mental gymnastics to come up with that one.

Whew.

Maybe you should kill yourself and set the example, Mr. Eugenicist.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27305279


Well I am setting the example, I am not having any children, in the mean time I see all kinds of darkies around here with 5 or 6 children each and then they claim they're poor and oppressed. Well, can't they keep their genitals in check?
 Quoting: Manu-Koelbren

While you scold them, they end up with the kids and you don't. When you pay school taxes it goes to pay for their schooling.

They don't have to keep their genitals in check. They know you'll pay for the results. And I'll pay. The thing to do is to somehow cut them off. This will be hard on the kids, well lots of things are hard and how many future scientists and engineers were there anyway? I'd betcha zero.

It can be hard to impose the right incentives, but it must be done. I am interested in hearing of better solutions, as well as incentives are not corrupted. Still listening ...

Re: Why do you have a problem with people receiving GOV assistants but not corporations?
In regards to money, it should be created in the market where it originated.

Where in the history books did it say a king or government came up with the idea of money and that money was fiat or gold for that matter?

People in the market decided which medium of exchange to use and it evolved but gold and silver has been used the most.

Government should never be allowed to issue the currency. Thats where the problem starts.

To all the twits against welfare, I guarantee you that if you lose your job and your family is hungry, you WILL go on assistance if you can't find a job.

That is a FACT!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27305279


And still be on it years later??? Or even a second generation on it?

What ever happened to people moving to find work as some of us and definitely our parents had to do?

No one is talking about social security or veterans benefits which are things people paid into. It's the 100% free deal that is bankrupting the country.

The only way I know to stop it is if we all sign up for everything we can get and I completely intend to do so. It's not right that some people be given free money taken from others.
 Quoting: Bluebird


Have you actually seen how some of these people live on welfare?

It's no vacation, they just learn to live really cheaply.

It's the welfare laws that allow it, they just found a way to jump through loopholes.

Sound familiar?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27305279




Yes, I have. Getting rent assistance from HUD after putting their car in their kids' name, they live better than I do! Eat out more often, have total free time and full medical coverage. Meanwhile some months I have to skip my more expensive prescriptions because I can't afford them while I pay taxes for these people who live better a better lifestyle than I can afford for myself.

And yes, some people live in squalor but I think it has more to do with how they manage the government aid and other factors such as where they live.

Re: Why do you have a problem with people receiving GOV assistants but not corporations?
OP parrots DNC bumper stickers, which are in turn based on baseless straw men and lies, and asks a "when did you stop beating your wife?" question.

1) Only statists support TARP and the various other producers-to-bankers-and-contributors scams. Tea Party and commie Occupy members both universally reject "Too big to fail" as a reason to steal our grand children's income to make sure Goldman Sachs execs can buy a 3rd bungalow in Morocco and Democrat Congressmen (cough Charles Rangle cough cough) can buy another rental property in the Bahamas.

2) Welfare for individuals is just fine, as long as it is charity. Stealing taxes from a working father who is supporting a daughter with cerebral palsy to give Obamaphones to a drug dealer whore with 8 kids by 8 different fathers is not charity. It's theft and slow-motion murder.

3) Fuck the state and the fascists in government and business who work together to destroy free-market capitalism in favor of crony corporatism which choose losers and winners according to personal enrichment and political advantage as made perfect and complete in the Obama Regime.

Re: Why do you have a problem with people receiving GOV assistants but not corporations?
Your premise is bullshit so your whole argument is flawed. Nobody wants to stop payments to the vets, the disabled, the old, or anyone else that we owe it to. The stimulus plan was Oblabla's idea. I don't know anyone that would have voted for that piece of shit. The government has no business supporting abnks and auto companies. That is why we have bankruptcy laws. All of those companies should have been sent through that process. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS "TOO BIG TO FAIL". If, on the other hand, you are talking about tax breaks, we all take them, including you. Tax breaks just mean that the government steals a little less of what we earn.

It's usually the drug dealers in the same neighborhoods who are driving the Cadillacs, at least that's what I keep hearing. Don't mix up the ideas so that you can come up with something false, please.

I'm glad you were able to get food stamps. I've heard that in my county, it's quite hard if you're white, they will lose your application or something will happen.

Always question, before supporting a social program, whether you or your family could actually get it if you needed it. Charity for those in need is one thing. Transfer payments to those who've got the system working for them is quite another.

When you come one here and make threads about people who receive "handouts" when most of them actually need all the help they can get but fail to mention companies who exploit gov assistants you look like a bunch of selective problem solving hypocrite. How can you sit behind your screen and bash these people yet turn the other way at the real problem. Its like the cop who would rather chase down someone peeing in an ally instead of the guy mugging down the street.

We need to do better.

So you would propose letting 50 million people starve to death?

Are you going to help with the clean up?

Good luck with that.

Well I am setting the example, I am not having any children, in the mean time I see all kinds of darkies around here with 5 or 6 children each and then they claim they're poor and oppressed. Well, can't they keep their genitals in check?
 Quoting: Manu-Koelbren

While you scold them, they end up with the kids and you don't. When you pay school taxes it goes to pay for their schooling.

They don't have to keep their genitals in check. They know you'll pay for the results. And I'll pay. The thing to do is to somehow cut them off. This will be hard on the kids, well lots of things are hard and how many future scientists and engineers were there anyway? I'd betcha zero.

It can be hard to impose the right incentives, but it must be done. I am interested in hearing of better solutions, as well as incentives are not corrupted. Still listening ...
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27304459


How can we cut them off if the majority of the people of the west are stupid enough to argue for this stupid system to go on? our folk have been brainwashed so thoroughly that they're commiting suicide, there's nothing I can do anymore. LEt them have what they want.
 Quoting: Manu-Koelbren


Let's pretend for a minute that you get your way.

What are you going to do with all those people on welfare?

They number at around 4 million on cash assistance and close to 47 million on food assistance.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27305279


there's nothing to do but to await for collapse and the ensuing wars that will come and decimate the population yet again.
Banned as usual.

“It is far easier to be a weakling than to be a Real Man. Were the Earth less harsh or the circumstances of life less austere, man would destroy himself before the shrine of the languid goddess. Only Real Men can with safety destroy the tangled forests and wilderness of Earth and make from them gardens, but will those who inherit the gardens be Real Men? The law decrees that they must be, or the wilderness will reclaim its own.”

Re: Why do you have a problem with people receiving GOV assistants but not corporations?
When food stamps were first expanded nationally in the 1970s, just 1 in 50 Americans participated; today the figure is almost 1 in 7. The program has doubled in size since 2008 and quadrupled since 2001.
Food stamps are one of nearly 80 means-tested federal welfare programs, including 17 for nutritional support. Collectively, these programs cost $700 billion annually, plus $200 billion in state contributions.
From 2001 to 2006 the food stamp budget doubled, even as unemployment remained around five percent.
Food stamps make up 80 percent of the current farm bill, costing $770 billion over the next 10 years.
Food stamp spending is projected to remain permanently and significantly above pre-recession levels.
Were food stamp spending returned to pre-recession (2007) levels, and increased at the rate of inflation, it would produce 10-year savings of $340 billion. The current farm bill calls for only $4 billion in savings.
The rapid increase in assistance is remarkably similar to the rapid decrease in the ratio of workers to Social Security/Medicare recipients, and it’s just as unsustainable. It’s also a demonstration of how absurd the program has become. We are the wealthiest nation on Earth, and yet 1 in 7 Americans have to get food assistance? More than 40% of us don’t pay federal income taxes, which means the burden of these costs fall on fewer and fewer Americans as well — about 4 in 7, if that. That kind of ratio will lead us to the same entitlement crunch we’re already barreling toward with Social Security and Medicare

So we have $770 billion dollars in food stamp programs alone, that's upwards of a trillion dollars in that one program alone.

It's unsustainable. No way around that.

Recipients have DOUBLED in size since Obama took office.

Well, here we go for another 4 years. Will it double again?

Link??? I don't necessarily doubt it but would like to see it and know under what in the budget this is listed as there doesn't seem to be all that much unaccounted for.
One of the most important aspects of conspiracy theories is being able to discern when there isn't one.
