Oh, believe me sister I understand their troubles. And yes I am hostile towards social welfare programs. Instead of just shoveling money into them like a hugs money furnaces we should use that money towards prevention?.. A bird of prevention in the hand is worth two birds of treatment in the bush?.I think social welfare programs are a necessary evil?.buy the way I am currently a recipient of social welfare programs. I think those who need help should receive it in a dignified manner. I think that if you receive social welfare than you should be REQUIRED to receive financial counseling, education counseling, or whatever your problem is counseling. I understand that some people will always require these services because they are disabled or other medical/age issue and I don??t have a problem with that. They are my fellow Americans and I would be happy to assist them. After all social welfare programs are just government operated charities that use taxpayer money.?.and charity is a powerful and capable force when handled properly. As it is right now we just throw money at poor people and hope they go away.


I think minorities should have every right that I have ?..but they should not have more?.affirmative action is just wrong?.not only is it wrong it??s insulting. It calls into question that persons actual abilities. It says ??you can??t make it unless we help you.? Business and corporations are just not the race mongers you make them out to be?.In American business it??s ALL about the money. They could give two craps what color you are. ?..And if a company finds an educated minority?.then they the company thinks double wippie for them?.are you kidding they would be falling out of their politically correct shoes.

I think people should be given equal opportunity. And I think if you work hard and bust your ass than it shouldn??t matter what color your skin is.

No?


Then shut up.
Absolutely they do. But not because of the color of my skin?..Everyone has to prove themselves no matter what color their skin is. I??ve had to prove myself to every employer I??ve ever had?? every single one. And I think rightly so. If hire someone to work for me than their going to have to prove themselves to me?.that??s just how life works.

And No I will not shut up??lol?.
