Which one of those 45 can you dispute? If you're feeling ambitious, perhaps you can debunk all 45 claims?
Just saying they are half-truths doesn't make them half truths.
All of them, it not even a new list, are you behind on opening your emails? You posted a list of simple points but failed to mention the reasons for those points you listed. It is no different than if I stated: "The GOP has not kept their promise to end abortion." You would say but ............
And there ya go, you already know the truth that goes aong with the list you posted, as do most posters here, you simply failed to provide all the facts, it is what Republicans do, all the time and most posters here know what you are doing. Maybe an audiance of uninformed sheeple would be a better place for you to sell what you are selling, try a Tea Party meeting, you will find many sheeple there.
A society of starving peasants and hereditary wealth is the natural state of man. Just ask any royalist or financial elite. We will become that society because it is a right and proper way to live. It is a natural state where everyone knows their place in the hierarchy and stays there.
Welfare is not what's draining this country financially. That's just a myth. Military spending is what's draining this country.
Really,
add up all the welfare, all the section 8, all the food stamps, and all the money we are handing out to all of the other nations in the world.
Quote:
In FY2011, federal spending on means-tested welfare, plus state contributions to federal programs, will reach $940 billion per year. The federal share will come to around $695 billion or 74 percent, while state spending will be around $250 billion or 26 percent.
Yes Virginia, that's almost 940 Billion, in 2011, starting 2012, that goes up to a TRILLION!
BTW, if you argue that not all of that is FEDERAL taxed spending, remember, the states only income is taxes also.
Add to that, over 52 BILLION Dollars, given in "Foreign aid", Much of that to countries that hate us, and countries like China.
So, that's an almost easy Trillion PLUS, that can be saved in our national budget. (Yes, that is LESS than MILITARY spending.)
NOW, a balanced budget amendment, spending U.S. Tax dollars only on things covered by the constitution, would end up lowering taxes on all citizens, we would have more money to spend, our economy would pick back up, and ALL citizen would benefit, especially middle class and below.
or the 26 billion spend on "community development"..under the heading of """450 Community and Regional Development:"""
A lot of that really benefits the middle class. For example, Community Development Block Grant funds are ostensibly intended for "low and moderate income" households. Local communities are given the money and it is allocated locally - by the upper/middle class decisionmakers who wun things, and not by low and moderate income residents.
Since money is fungible, local governments use this "free" money to play a shell game which allows them to spend more money elsewhere.
For example, local road maintenance is usually paid from the town's general fund. With CDBG money, the town simply designates CDBG money to pave/maintain streets in low/moderate income neighborhoods, allowing the town to spend its own money in affluent neighborhoods.
And towns worried about neighborhoods having "too much" rental housing use CDBG funds to subsidize homebuyers (who are usually at the top of the eligible income range, and never poor) as part of a strategy to increase homeownership, raise rents and home prices generally, and displace renters.
I'd happily scrap this program because it harms the poor while claiming to help them.
that's the fascist liberal dream...two classes..to poor serfs who get welfare scraps and the liberal elite masters
liberalism...aka... progressiveism..aka varients of socialism/fascism/communism...aka..GLOBALISM ...aka ANTI-FREEDOM
What!? It's the Republicans , like the one below, who want to screw the poor and middle class and support their gods, The Wealthy!!!
Sweet jesus! Pay attention!

5. Stop giving money to every other nation on the globe, that money is U.S. Citizen tax money, and it's used for defense of our country, to page government wages, interstate system, those things that are required by our constitution.

You will find even a higher % of sheeple at your local Democrat Mein Kamph takeover America rally or at one of Al and Jessie's racist hate rallys for Trayvon
Seems you always fall for it.... my heart goes out to you
