Record number in government anti-poverty programs - USATODAY.com
Speaks for itself.........pretty sad and embarrassing. Hey, I know, lets pass another stimulus of taxpayer money lol. Borrowing and spending ouselves to DEATH is doing wonders for the unemployed and jobless so far LMAO.
if you hate this country so much there are plenty of other places for you to go live.
Living the Dream brotha.......hate the current administrations policies starting with the 3 trillion dollar joke that is Obamacare. Sorry, Im not one of those liberal pussies who says he's leaving everytime I lose an election.
How are the polls looking for the socialist Democrat party right now?
GOP Takes Unprecedented 10-Point Lead on Generic Ballot
Leave? Shit......we are just getting warmed up. If you enjoy the current policies I suggest you start looking at travel visas homie......maybe Finland?:hippy:
I know what you mean. I live in a neighborhood where [working] is a nasty word. I personally work, and have been doing so since a very young age. I'm sorry I can't say the same thing about everyone in this "hood." I remember when I was on [before getting banned for a couple of months] here I had just gotten my car. Before hand I was walking to work everyday at night. Can you imagine what I had to go through just to support my family? I hate the class that wants everything given to them. Don't get me wrong. I have food stamps. What can I say though.. Get high; get the munchies! It's Yummm Yummm time! Anyways, I think that's all I got to say about this one.
And your working your ass off and will have to for longer in your life for all those people who don't do a damn thing for THEMSELVES.
Never.....ever.....will my family take a dime of Federal assistance....ever. Cause we plan and SAVE our money. Have small accounts for Hurricane season......kids college....drive cheapo cars...paid all our debt....bought a house WELL WITHIN our means and will continue to do so. Not bad for a former heroin junkie and prisoner of the state of Texas for 22 months.
i assume you will contact the govt and tell them to take you off the social security rolls. And, if your house catches fire, call the fire dept and tell them you've got it handled and not to come out to put out the fire because you don't need any aid or assistance from the govt.Quote:

I know what he means though. He's not saying that all of 'Government aid' is bad. Just (my take) people who abuse the system. People that get SSI, or disability because they have a learning 'handicap.' I can't stand people like that. In fact I see no reason they shouldn't (CENSORED) them kind of people off. That way we won't be stuck paying for their sorry ass.
In the business I work in I see a ton of these bastards come in on the 1st and the 3rd to buy their much needed beer, cigarettes, and lottery scratch-offs. Yeah, our tax dollars are going so far to help these people with their 'depression' and all that other Bull(Censored).
Don't get me wrong I don't see anything wrong with getting SSI, or disability if you are terminally ill, and can't work. This is NOT the case 99% of the time. Most of the people (if you want to call them people) are just out to get a free hand out. I better stop before I get to upset thinking about it.....:mad::mad:

This really tells a lot about a person, you wasted your whole life living in a box instead of learning about the world, people, and our future. Now, you revolve around a world made by FOX news and friends. However, who do you want to be in control of the government?Quote:

If your counting on some social security blanket for when you retire I suggest ya start making other plans. Straight up.Quote:

I wonder what the percentage of men that would let a woman pay their mortgage, or of parents too proud to take government aid and have their children removed from their houses for neglect? Same old subject matter gets boring.:jointsmile:
Funny how Finland is a much better country than the States however you cut it, and yet socialism is considered the supreme evil. Perhaps they lack the zeal to keep their government's hands off their damn medicare. I sincerely hope that the obese Texans who kept health care costing an arm and a leg for so many years went to their heart-disease related deaths comforted by the idea that at least none of their taxes went towards helping sick people, only blowing people up across the Middle East.Quote:

There are dozens of ways to save money without keeping the impoverished sick paying huge bills for their illnesses. If you think your country would be ANY better off under the Republicans, I wish you well in Narnia.

Bet the "euro-socialists" controlling that nation are getting nervous.....and they should be.
Socialisms failures are so blatant and large only an "intellectual" or ideologue could ignore or evade them.
Just for giggles.....we loved in the states having YOUR Prime Minister fly to AMERICA to recieve open heart surgery.
N.L. Premier Williams set to have heart surgery in U.S.
Gee......wonder why?
so IB, did you kick you drug addiction in prison? What did you pay for the rehab or treatment? Oh yeah, you were incarcerated at taxpayer expense so you lived for free and got treatment for free at the govt's expense. You are nothing but a hypocrite. It's a mystery how someone like yourself can smoke weed and be such a hater with no compassion. Your glee at the problems of this country reek of a traitor to his country. You laugh at the problems causing misery to so many citizens of this country. If we were to follow your example, you would still be incarcerated. A patriot would jump in to put out the fire. You my friend would watch the fire destroy everything and laugh as the first responders tried to clean up the mess. You offer no solutions just hate. Is that something you learned in your free bible classes in prison?
I'll refrain from giving my true reaction to IB to avoid another infraction (two due to telling him what I thought). I don't know why everyone doesn't just put him on ignore. He's full of ............................ :DQuote:

The county time was the worst......once ya make it to your farm you WORK your days away and use cell phomes and drink pruno all night.Quote:

A man that ran his campaign as some post racial savior of the world.....Mr. Post Partisan. Yea right.......
Im laughing at Obama thinking Obamacare was gonna be some miraculous thing people desired and loved......once we were allowed to read it however. Im laughing at Obama thinking the Religous Nuts running Tehran were gonna negotiate with him cause he was "special." Dudes a TOTAL FRAUD and now his party is gonna pay a HEFTY price at the polls in 29 days.
Really Gypski.......why are you STILL talking about me? Its getting a little wierd to me. Obsessions cloud the mind.
It is easier to throw stones than it is to actually build something. I have yet to see Islandboy offer any solutions or policy remedies for the problems that face the nation. It is the Rush Limbaugh approach to politics. The Tea Baggers are his kind of crowd. What else do you need to know?!Quote:
