Then there's the REALLY stupid group, "We defend the rich who we think ALL worked their way up even though most are BORN rich and have done nothing to earn a penny and we worship and defend them while their boot is firmly on our neck 'cause we're stupid group."
How about some stats to back up your claim that most rich are born into their money?
Some of you people make me sick. You act like every person who is unemployed is getting some kind of enjoyment out of this horrible situation. I really never thought I would stoop to this level of wishing something bad on people who I don't even know, but being unemployed changes you. Every time I hear someone say we are lazy or milking the system it makes my blood boil. There is nothing that would please me more (other than getting a job) than to see you people lose your jobs. Maybe then you would wake up and smell the coffee.

But....everyone knows that it is a God-given fact that absolutely, not one, zero, zip, nilch, person who is collecting unemployment is a true American. I mean, c'mon, everyone knows that only a socialists Liberal would EVEN consider collecting unemployment for the sole reason of living high on someones else hog and wasting tax-payer money for kicks. Let's face it; it is an absolute FACT that 0% of those collecting unemployment are Conservatives.
Unfortunately, there is no real way to track it but rest assured, where there is free money, fraud isn't far behind.
Gee, that brings up images of the banking/financial world, Halliburton in Iraq, tax loopholes for the wealthy, drug companies selling dangerous drugs, Insurance companies making billions by denying health care....all kinds of corruption but since so many quake in fear and cowardice of those entities it's much safer to go after those who lost their jobs....
Of course, unemployment fraud is a drop in the bucket compared to ..oh, Halliburton fraud, so it does make their defenders look quite stupid.
Having been unemployed and under employed in my life I can empithize with those unfornate people who have been displaced by the greed od the parasite rich. If the rich will not share their record profits the government has no choice but confiscate through taxation and use it on public works projects to put AMERICA to work.
#1: What did YOU or anyone else do to help the rich earn their profits? Nothing. So why are you entitled to a portion of it? It's greedy to work and sacrifice for your earnings? That's funny. And how are the rich parasitic? Have you seen the poor lately?
#2: Those "shovel-ready projects" are a failure. An epic flop. I've seen numerous signs with NOBODY working and nothing to show. They spent a bunch of money on signs, maybe they were stimulating the sign-making industry or something, cause they sure as heck aren't putting America back to work. That brings me to another point...it is not the gov't's responsibility to create jobs, they are to create a business-friendly environment by setting taxes and regulations at appropriate levels. If not, the gov't is doing no stimulating whatsoever.
Yes I do understand that, thats why tax cuts on business doesn't mean businesses will hire. Making the most money with the least amount of employees. Again my argument that tax cuts don't create jobs is proven true again.
Hiring isn't the only way cutting tax will help.
In the Bush tax cuts are bonus depreciation credits.
Why shouldn't someone milk the system that has screwed them over for most of their lives?
Remember,unemployment is now basically federally funded and is borrowed money....
Because maybe we have morals?!
