Do you ALWAYS get the wrong end of the stick? LOL! YES, OMAMA IS tryin to stop corporate WELFARE with financial reform laws.....google it, turn on a TV or radio...

"""The game of robbing Peter (producer taxpayer) to pay Paul (non-prodcer parasite) in order to buy votes and maintain political power is destroying this constitutional republic. It is not a hate rant against the poor. It is a rant against a corrupt government that uses taxpayer money for the benefit of politicians and political pay-backs.

The campaign reform bill is a sham that treats financial political donors differently depending upon which side of the aisle the lobbiest group historically vote.
Those parasite parents who take tax deductions for their brood and expect ME to take up the slack!!!

Yes,the Right hate children and the poor and minorities too.you really nailed it.
Since both parties bail out corporations i guess that takes the steam out of your anti-conservative/republican slant.
Dems get as much dough from lobbies and companies,dont kid yourself.

I'm not against ending corporate welfare, I'm for drastically limiting what welfare remains on all fronts. Socialized medicine included!

The righties(like the one above) Worship the Wealthy.

ya, I know some think I'm wacky and extreme when i say that but look at how they constantly defend corporations....they joyfully give them billions so the wealthy never suffer a moment for their "errors of judgement" but really pour on the hate for the poorest Americans for THEIR "errors in judgement".

As people will see more and more , from Michelle Bachmann's defending BP and that other freak Republican apologizing to them Republicans are on the side of corporatins and hate the average American....some of whom are righties and really DO Worship the Wealthy as their new "God".

When your reality is already twisted it isn't hard to twist existing facts.

There are a lot of ministries that take food to the poor in third world countries, but in most of the countries, it's taboo to be given assistance, so they structure it in a way that the ministries give them the goods and services to actually grow their own food, and the poor give half back to the ministries to use elsewhere, as a way of paying for it.

They're too proud to just be "given" anything and they insist that they earn it. Being on government assistance SHOULD be embarrassing to folks and they should work to get off it as quickly as possible.

Too bad those in the third world are the ones that understand the value of work, and those here, where they have the freedom to do anything they want don't respect it. We've bred a culture of laziness.

Only the one welfare program they renamed TANF which is actually handing CASH money to welfare recipients is limited. Food stamps, Medicaid, WIC, free housing and much else can go on indefinitely.

The welfare mother only has to go on having more babies and will keep plenty of food stamps, WIC, more government housing coming her way.

Instead of rewarding women for having children without fathers, it would be better to require permanent sterilization in exchange for living on welfare handouts. The problem could be solved.

Source?? I am sure you're wrong. If you add up all those people living in government housing, Section 8 housing, receiving Medicaid, CHIPS, food stamps, WIC, TANF, SSDI checks, it's a lot more than 1.7% of the population.

Where I live, over half the babies born are born into welfare now.

I lean right, mainly on financial issues, and would be all for ending corporate welfare if it also ends/greatly reduces corporate taxes. How about ending government welfare provided by corporations via the ~9% payroll deduction we must pay for all employees (fica, unemployment insurance)? That sure would be a nice start.
