You have no clue what is or is not and you actually vote?

Then for you to add min. wage into the mix tells me you are so lost.

People have earned and paid for their SS, Medicare and Unemployment.

Min. Wage has nothing to do with it. Min wage is their to pay people who have little or no skills and have little to no value to the employer.

Welfare, Food Stamps, Gas Vouchers, Car Repair Vouchers, Medical Cards are examples of socialism because the majority of those people who get it are getting it for FREE ( actually stealing it or committing fraud ) and people like many of us are paying for it.

If you look at data on welfare you will find that the majority of those people wont work, wont lift a finger and have no paid much if anything at all into the tax base to pay for their handouts.

For some reason liberals here seem to be trying a new one, if someone mentions a handout or a freebie the liberals come back with SS or Medicare to compare when it is completely different.

SS/Medicare are earned while ObamaCare and ObamaWelfare are not earned and he wants to steal from those of us who are successful and hand it over to those who are either lazy, losers, non successful or just plain bums.

In some cases where people who have worked hard and paid into the system cannot get helped because the bums have used it all up or have abused the system so bad that the rightful and needy who earned it get nothing.

Perfect example, work 25 years, own your own home, pay your taxes and own a car or two, get laid off and use up your savings. Then try to go get help and what happens?
Sorry buddy you were to successful and we cannot help you. We only help those who live in dumps, trailers, section 8 housing and have never had a job, a savings, a car etc.

Rewarding losers is what we have become as a nation and Obama is wanting to even reward them even more by stealing from us and handing it for free to them.

Let them go hungry, maybe they will learn how to work like many of us have.

Obama has been the biggest mistake in American politcial history, something we are paying for right now and will be for many years to come.
Are you saying Ronald Reagan was lying about Medicare being Socialism?
Are you saying Prescott Bush was lying about Social Security being Socialism?

The GOP Opposed both

I'm pretty happy with the job he is doing.

If you actually think his pretty conventional democratic policies are destroying our country, then I suspect you are not a scholar of history.


...and, given the gaping holes in your overall argument, I suspect you are not a scholar, period.

I like that.
And OOPS! They're destroying their source of revenue in the process.
IRS tax revenue falls along with taxpayers' income - USATODAY.com

Hmmm... how are they going to pay for all their pie-in-the-sky programs when they've killed the goose that lays the golden egg? Gosh, I guess they didn't think of that.

That goose is far from dead. There are trillions stashed away that could be used for useful things like a petroleum free energy base, high speed intercity rail, bigger space program, etc. We know better than to kill the goose but we also know ways to get more eggs from the nest.

Yeah. Sure. There's just trillions in unused money sitting on the sidelines, not doing a thing.

No More Freedom.


If you don't want health care ( by choice ) you will be fined.

If you are a doctor ... you will be earning $12 an hour -- after spending $75,000 and eight years of your life in medical school.


We will have bad health care at an astronomical expense under today's Democrats.


I'm here to tell you today. If average Americans don't stand up, America itself will be destroyed by Democrats in Congress.

2010 is coming. Don't let the long list of Dems in Washington regulate your lives.

Vote the Bums out.



Back to the point. Barack Obama ( whose head is as big a zeppelin ) is just another example of a boisterous Democrat who wants to change the WORLD. Do not allow this idiot to take away your freedom.

Your taxes will fund illegal alien's health care.

Anyone who voted for Barack is likely ashamed of themselves by now.


How can this country get out of this?

Put a stop to corruption now. Any time a Democrat tells you that they care about people -- they are lying.

Young people are so brainwashed that they can't get it. Dammit, this is the time to get it. YOU ARE BEING BRAINWASHED.

If you knew that a Socialist/Fascist "President" was about to trick you out of your freedom, "What would you do?"
I don't know what people do who hallucinate to this extent? Hope they get better.
