How brainwashed must you be to believe the crap?

What IQ must you have to be able to pull up a Federal Budget chart and look how tiny aid to the poor really is compared to defense, interest on the debt, social security, medicare, etc.
Mandatory entitlements take up over 50% of the federal budget. Would you tell me what you are talking about?

No doubt. You don't have the intellect to put things in perspective.

You could care less about corporate crime, absurd defense spending, corporate greed, government corruption ( when your side is involved) THIS IS WHERE THE MONEY IS.

What really gets you mad is a fat person using their food stamp card.

No wonder you vote GOP.

They don't have the spine to do that.....If they are seen mocking the poor ....then in the back of their minds ...they think the rich will throw them a bone.

These white, elderly, poorly educated right wingers are so scared and clueless.
Yep, sounds like she struck a nerve with somebody who doesn't like what she said.

You have to have a job to get a paycheck stub, you certainly aren't saying that everyone who collects medicare is gainfully employed are you?

I love these "it was written by someone innocent" spams. Besides the rhetoric they spew it's presented to create the idea that "even an...idiot/child/teen/blablabla" understands more than all the brainpower in the country combined becaues it's JUST SO SIMPLE.

Really? How old are you people who still fall for this crap? Or did you just figure out how to sign up for an email acct?

This was in the Waco Tribune Herald, Waco , TX Nov 18, 2010

Put me in charge . . .

Put me in charge of food stamps. I'd get rid of Lone Star cards; no cash for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho's, just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can haul away. If you want steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.

Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I'd do is to get women Norplant birth control implants or tubal ligations. Then, we'll test recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine and document all tattoos and piercings. If you want to reproduce or use drugs, alcohol, smoke or get tats and piercings, then get a job.

Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks?






You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair. Your "home" will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions will be inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, then get a job and your own place.

In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or you will report to a "government" job. It may be cleaning the roadways of trash, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you. We will sell your 22 inch rims and low profile tires and your blasting stereo and speakers and put that money toward the “common good..”

Before you write that I've violated someone's rights, realize that all of the above is voluntary. If you want our money, accept our rules.. Before you say that this would be "demeaning" and ruin their "self esteem," consider that it wasn't that long ago that taking someone else's money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self esteem.

If we are expected to pay for other people's mistakes we should at least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current system rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.

AND While you are on Gov’t subsistence, you no longer can VOTE! Yes that is correct. For you to vote would be a conflict of interest. You will voluntarily remove yourself from voting while you are receiving a Gov’t welfare check. If you want to vote, then get a job.






Now, if you have the guts - PASS IT ON...

Young and dumb. Let's check her attitude in a few years. AFTER she cannot find a job or loses that good one to no fault of hers. After he or she has a major illness in the family and it breaks them financially. Hope she remembers that she is only deserving the health care she can afford.

I guess in her world if you were given a nice gift from someone then what do you do turn it into the camp commandant?

Fascism ( /ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a radical authoritarian nationalist political ideology.[1][2] Fascists seek to rejuvenate their nation based on commitment to the national community as an organic entity, in which individuals are bound together in national identity by suprapersonal connections of ancestry, culture, and blood.[3] To achieve this, fascists purge forces, ideas, people, and systems deemed to be the cause of decadence and degeneration.[3] Fascists advocate the creation of a totalitarian single-party state that seeks the mass mobilization of a nation through indoctrination, physical education, discipline and family policy (such as eugenics).[4][5] That state is led by a supreme leader who exercises a dictatorship over the fascist movement, the government and other state institutions.[6] Fascist governments forbid and suppress opposition.

A clear example of an anarchist bound to attempt to destroy America. How anti-American of her and all those who support her "diatribe".

Exactly! It is crazy how people believe this crap they are fed all the time. The oldest trick in the book is to place the blame on those with no voice and no power. "Blame the poor! They're the reason for our declining economy". Uh, no how about we blame those that actually HAVE POWER and CONTROL our spending and money supply?

While I agree the welfare system should be revamped (especially Medical and Cash), there will be always be some type of fraud in every entitlement program.
If you are going to go after welfare fraud, Doctor's might be the biggest violators, signing off on phony disabilities just to get the "welfare client" that they can overcharge because GOVT is paying for it. But this is not the fraud we should be most concerned about.

It is the fraud in the Federal Reserve, Corporate Campaign Donations, and our Federal Government in general that should be the main concern, but nobody wants the public to think that. Start at the top.

She sure did. I despise these stupid right wing cute little stories that go viral.

It's how low IQ people are able to communicate with one another.

They obviously are too lame to be able to access Federal Budget data. That's too complex to understand.

So they resort to this folk stories. This ones about this perky little 21 year old who calls it like it is!

Hey you deserve poverty. My only problem is there are people in poverty that know what the GOP feeds them is B.S ...those are the people I feel sorry for and want to help.
