Re: Why do you have a problem with people receiving GOV assistants but not corporations?
If we could just go with a flat tax for people and corporations. Then it would be fair to everyone.

The bailouts should have gone to the people.
I wrote many letters to congress suggesting they give every natural born citizen $15,000 for an American made car. And every natural born citizen $100,000 to buy a house, start a business or pay down their mortgages.

Then everyone gets bailed out mainly the people who will be paying for the bailouts.

Of course no one listened

Re: Why do you have a problem with people receiving GOV assistants but not corporations?
It's just a huge leap for me to see how the Federal Reserve doing bailouts justifies Obama using TAX money to buy himself votes and donors.

And apparently enough to win an election.

I personally oppose both kinds of bailouts but the tax funded are the most direct and what will bankrupt the government faster.

Since when did we not have problems with bailouts you dumb fuck? Don't put words in someones mouth ever again.

Your argument is wickedly low standard. Learn logic thinking, if at all possible.

A lot of you people here on GLP seem to think people on welfare(the vets, the disabled, the old, people who make under 20k) are the problem. But there is no outrage or anger for the companies who make billions yet find ways to stick their hands in the pot. 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.

Why do you include my name in your post?

I do NOT support corporate welfare or bailouts at all!

I am opposed to ANY government bailouts of anybody or anything. It's not their job.

But LYING and saying the government spends more on corporate welfare than it does entitlement programs is why people think it's OK to get all their free stuff.

It's a cheap trick used to justify bilking the system!

 Quoting: Bluebird


[link to www.economonitor.com]

I'll await your response.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27305279


Why are you awaiting my response?

It says:

Most recently, Bloomberg provided an in-depth analysis of Fed lending to the biggest banks, reporting a sum of $7.77 trillion. On December 8, Bernanke struck back with a highly misleading and factually incorrect memo countering Bloomberg’s report.


You do know that the Federal Reserve is a panel or whatever you would call it, of PRIVATE BANKS. It is NOT the federal government. It is PRIVATE MONEY, not our taxes.

Obviously I am dealing with a child here and wasting my time.
 Quoting: Bluebird


You obviously do not understand how the fed works. It is a private bank, but it has been given unlimited power to mint our money. It is unconstitutional, but it is still happening. It is our money! This private bank is minting US currency, and lending it back to us. Yes they are charging us interest on our own money. Then they print up as much money as they want for their bail-outs. This basically makes all dollars worth less. So every time you hear that the fed is bailing someone out, even though our taxes are not be used, it is costing us because our dollars are losing value when the mint more money for these projects that we have nothing to do with. Liberal economics are hocus pocus!
 Quoting: Epic Beard Guy


Since 1913, starting with the very first dollar the fed printed with debt attached, we have now gotten to 16trillion.

It's really simple but some people can not grasp it because there is just too many zeros.

Say there is only 5 dollars in the whole world. A measly five bucks. I borrow that from the Fed and they say I owe them 5.50 back, I will never pay them back. Why? Because there is only 5 dollars in the world. Game Over since 1913

We are in 16 trillion to a shell game

The corporations are fucking the people by taking tax refunds, not money they already earned.

JP Morgan likes food stamps because they run the majority of the US foodstamp program

[link to www.fns.usda.gov]

The FED (federal reserve) has been fucking us since 1913. Their charter is indefinate. The dollar will soon be worth nothing. China has been stockpiling gold and will make their move soon. The only reason that they haven't is that they own too many dollars. Last year they stated that they would lower that ammount by a third.

The morons that think that Romney would have made things better have their heads up their asses. Ron Paul would be the only one that would have had a chance at that through responsible monetary policy. TS will HTF very soon reguardless of the puppet in chief. And so it goes.

"The Federal Reserve is an agency of U.S. Government created by Congress in 1913. The member banks under Federal Reserve are actually private corporations and all the stocks of Federal Reserve are owned by member banks. Federal reserve notes are in theory backed by the assets of the Federal Reserve, but primarily by the power of Congress to lay taxes on people. See excerpts of interview with Mr. Ron Supinski of the Public Information Department of the San Francisco, Federal Reserve Bank on October 8, 1992. [1]"

Re: Why do you have a problem with people receiving GOV assistants but not corporations?
People don't complain too much about it because the amounts are so massive they cannot comprehend it. It causes cranial reboot and then they go onto something else.

Corporate welfare is also disguised. They call it "bailouts" or "job saving initiatives" or "tax incentives" or "cultural investments". In reality its taking from the productive to pump up the unproductive.

The drone factories (public school system) teaches the drones that this is OK. They can't relate to it so they never really think about it.

However, on a personal level, the drones can understand when someone is raping the system for $400 or $500 a month while they work under the table.

"It must be nice..." or "I shoudl just quite and go on welfare..." are the comments because they understand it.

They don't understand the Solyndra bankruptcy and all that profited from that and the battery company that developed hi-cap batteries, went broke and now is selling the technology to China.

The fact is, our population has always been mostly drones. There are only a few of us that think about anything more than our next meal, our next sex or our next ballgame.

...very few of us.

We are the 3% and on 1% of the 3% rule the earth because about 1% of the 3% are psychopaths that don't care about anyone in the world except them.

The other 99% of the 3% have compassion and we don't feel its right to continually rob the earth (and the drones).

The makeup of society is becoming more and more settled into this trend.

97% Drones
2.9% Thinking, hardworking people (like most of you)
.1% Psychopathic Elite

If you thought all this control was about something more honorable or complex than cash, you would be wrong. They don't care about your safety, your survival or your health. They care about the labor you produce (and its subsequent conversion to fiat currency) and then they figure out a way to get it to themselves. Call it "laundering" if you want. They need your approval and they do it by calling it the aformentioned code words.

Even "assistance" is code. Its "booty" or "stolen goods" or "fencing". They steal your property (the fruits of your labor) via the code word called "taxes" then they launder it through Solyndra schemes and then they spend it.

Anybody that is surprised by this and doesn't believe it is a drone.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 895485


...oh, and by the way, if they don't get your approval in some way, there is a thing called Agenda 21 thats coming.

For those that don't understand or know about Agenda 21, I recommend "The Hunger Games" series of books by Suzanne Collins. Agenda 21, plain and simple. The movie doesn't really get into it as much as the books.

The Hunger Games is where we are headed when we wake up, or should I say, if we don't wake up soon enough.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 895485


The Hunger Games (books, I never watch the movies and am always disappointed if I do) are already here.

We don't have tracker-jacker venom, but we do have protein uptake regulator drugs that can be used effectively to create some memories and wipe out others. Just one example.

I read those books and said "yes this is the truth NOW."
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27304459


You are correct. It is the truth but its just not to that level yet. The Hunger Games took place about 75 years after the marxist/socialists/NWO won. I'd say the war has not been waged yet and the outcome is not certain.

The whole idea is to get as many people on the welfare roles as possible and turn the entire country into an unthinking army of drones, slaving away and fighting for scraps tossed out the the giverment. In every case that I've asked people why they voted for The Kenyan, I get an answer that is summarized into: handouts. Regardless, its always handouts.

He was raised on handouts. He was given preferencial treatment in college because he couldn't pass and so they passed him anyway.

Fact: if a college flunky that went to college on foreign aid can be president, who would want to be president?

Re: Why do you have a problem with people receiving GOV assistants but not corporations?
Yes, I have read "It Came From Jekyll Island" and have some idea of what the Federal Reserve does.

No one knows exactly what they do as they have managed to resist congressional oversight. There was a movement a while back for congress to audit the fed, think Ron Paul was advocating that but I don't think it went very far.

With their QE2 (Quantum easing) flooding the market with dollars it does control inflation. Or deflation.

But they do claim to have other sources of income other than printing our currency and to conduct regular banking activities. At least that is how it's supposed to be. And their money is kept separate from our taxes.

All of which doesn't have much to do with the question posed by this thread.

I can only speak for myself and I do have a problem with corporations or banks receiving government bailouts.

But the majority of the federal budget of this country of monies collected from income taxes goes for entitlement programs to individuals.

The Congressio9nal Budget Office that is supposed to be non-partisan is the institution that promulgated that information, not me.

 Quoting: Bluebird

The main question posed in this thread was why would one have a problem with entitlement and not corporate welfare. Apparently you do have a problem with both, just more so for private citizens though.

I find your arguments valid based upon your links. But I think the links misleading because I do not trust government to tell the truth. Scratch that, I do not trust the people that currently hold government positions to tell the truth. I believe this to be proven fact on both sides of the aisle.

I would argue that the FED is the Mother of all corporations and all others under their umbrella. I think entitlement programs pale in comparison to the tax payer dollars taken in by the military industrial complex, banking elite, petrol-energy cartels and the like that have taken the American public for trillions of tax-payer dollars and lol while framing the argument that it is welfare cheats that are the demons.

Of course,...this is just imo.

90% of all stock in corporations owned by 10% of Americans. So corporate welfare increases profits and stock value and dividends - and that money goes right to the top. Also they pay low capital gains and dividend taxes on their stock sales and dividends. More money to the top. If you factor in the imperialist wars which resulted in tremendous corporate profits for military corps and oil companies and companies like Halburton, you get the idea that the US government has spent TRILLIONS which has been transferred from the people (via the deficit) right to the top.

The whole argument about welfare and medicare and medicaid is made because who else is going to pay for all the theft that is now the deficit? They have to create a villain and a false cause - otherwise the focus would be on them.

The Federal Reserve does not operate using TAX DOLLARS. They are private banks.

Welfare, Obamaphones, food stamps and so forth come from TAX Dollars.

I do not like to pay tax dollars.

I can't put it any more simple than that.

But don't try to pretend the federal reserve is the same as the U.S. government.

And I do NOT support corporate welfare either nor bank bailouts but if the Federal reserve is doing it, that's a totally different situation. Banks answer to their shareholders.

This is what I think about welfare to help the disabled, poor etc.

All you advocates who support this so called method of 'charity' want it this way because the truth is that is supposedly the only way you can feed and clothe the hungry.

You dont want to face the moral dilemma of 'should I as an individual donate some of my money, some of my clothes etc' when instead you want to take the easy way out and support the worst kind of charity, if you can call it that, by the most immoral institution ever known to man.

Your mantra is, 'out of sight, out of mind' because you can't bring yourself to make that decision to voluntarily give your money or your clothes or your time to help those who need a helping hand.

It's too easy to say 'hey I'm a giving person, I pay taxes and it goes to help the the poor, so that makes me a good person'.

A true test of a society and the individual is their will to practice true charity and not the charity that we are forced to pay into.

A true test of a society and the individual is their will to practice true charity and not the charity that we are forced to pay into.

Hey, I'm a giving person. I pay taxes and it goes to whomever the government sees fit.

Well fuck that! I refuse to participate anymore. The liberals and government has sucked me dry.

I'm joining the welfare bots.

Re: Why do you have a problem with people receiving GOV assistants but not corporations?
TARP trillions, or $80 a month in food stamps... you decide.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 8343252

People never think to consider corporations as "Useless Eaters" :) They take the majority of government aid yet the broken people, like me, get accused of sponging off the backs of tax payers.

Corporations rarely pay their portion in taxes, yet even as a SSDI recipient, I pay tax every time I go to buy gas, buy groceries, pay a utility bill. I don't have many bills or outgoing income simply because my income is so limited. Rather pisses me off considering how many years I worked and paid into the system, but I suppose it could be worse.

My life is a lot simpler than it was when I was working. I have fewer things to manage, fewer luxuries such as no TV, no going out to eat, no special foods, etc. I'm not complaining, mind you. There is a certain freedom that comes with a minimalist lifestyle, but there is a richness to my life that is missing that those little luxuries used to fill. I don't know many corporations that could slim down their appetites to make more of the profits they do get. Instead, they seek more profits and aid to make up for their extravagance. I'd like to see some of these CEOs of companies like General Electric, Exxon, and the other big non-tax paying corporations live day to day like I do. They'd go insane.

Re: Why do you have a problem with people receiving GOV assistants but not corporations?
90% of all stock in corporations owned by 10% of Americans. So corporate welfare increases profits and stock value and dividends - and that money goes right to the top. Also they pay low capital gains and dividend taxes on their stock sales and dividends. More money to the top. If you factor in the imperialist wars which resulted in tremendous corporate profits for military corps and oil companies and companies like Halburton, you get the idea that the US government has spent TRILLIONS which has been transferred from the people (via the deficit) right to the top.

The whole argument about welfare and medicare and medicaid is made because who else is going to pay for all the theft that is now the deficit? They have to create a villain and a false cause - otherwise the focus would be on them.

Buddy your WRONG. Do you homework moron:

More than 80 percent of the stock market is owned by individual investors, either directly, or inside a Mutual fund, or inside whatever holdings they have in their 401(k).
The only stocks NOT ultimately owned by individuals are those held inside endowments.
The very idea that the "very wealthy" own most of the market is absurd if you think a moment; why would the market have ANY volatility if it was only being moved by a few very wealthy investors? Why would they keep selling stocks back and forth between each other?
