Put it all together and we can see that the hard working American people are being robbed by the poor, the politicians, the banks, the uber rich. And the left cheered when Obama fed them a line about taxing "the rich". Yea, give politicians more money.

Just Pelosi's bill for booze will knock your sock off.

Why do you believe it didn't work? It's like a guy bailing out the lifeboat with a cup, would you say "stop doing that the water level seems to not change!"

But the last part of what you say is sooooo true. Not poor enough to get benefits, not rich enough to get into the really good investments.

In 1964 we had 12% poverty rate in this nation, now we have about 15 to 16% poverty, more poverty after wasting the wealth of 5 generations in less then 50 years...That is a failure of the most epic proportions.

You get more of what you subsidize.

Fact in we have been importation poverty via the change immigration system after 1964 which favor race over skilled labor when it comes to legal immigration and about 30 years of a unsecured border and having the 3rd world spill in with a endless appetite for handouts......

We gave up on the conquest of space just to appease the left and their scam of buy voters and importing voter blocks...And for what? To make people who want to destroy this nation happy and to be spread being called a "racist" or "mean"?......

I was always against that war....Hell we have more oil here then in the whole Middle East, as far as I am concerned that area of the planet is cursed and we should stay the **** out of and away from it....

Anymore attacks from Islamic forces should be calls for a month long bombing campaign...No boots on the ground..
