Agreed. End all welfare for those physically able to work.
End international welfare. We owe the world nothing.
End the caddy benefits for elected reps. They have enough money to pay co-pays like everyone else.
End pork and earmarks.
Im all for it.

It's wrong to say conservatives never complain about it. Look at the tea party, taxpayer funded corporate bailouts is one of their biggest issues.

If you pay no Federal income taxes or your Federal income taxes will not be raised, how can it be said government is giving something you have to rich people?

Many of us do; I view watching Lehman fail as gvovernemnet's finest hour of the last 5 years. We let the market dictate their results. We accepted that medicine , though bad tasting, is taken for a reason.

Is the problem that the Fed is not creating more debt to give to you, too?

1. 1% media have done exactly as you accuse.

2. If Obama were liberal, I don't think liberals would be grieving him as much as they are. He too has sided too heavily with the 1%. Right along with the Clintons.

3. The 1% have been destroying America. Proud?

If that were so why did they block every attempt at justice and monetary reform? Tea installed politicians facilitated legislation making it easier for crime to go on unabated. Republicans gave Goldman Sachs a back massage and hand holding while they were setting up multi billion bonuses for themselves.

Tea wants their money to be safe as houses, as do all. To accomplish that it would have to be a nationalized bank & off fiat currency system. Then comes the hysteria claiming that's communist. "Privatization" is what allowed foxes into the hen house, formerly restrained by regulations, and Tea demands more liberated foxes to solve their hen shortage. It's completely irrational. It's everything right wing media has installed. Couldn't RW media just instruct them to catch a comet instead? It would be far more efficient.

You want the hand outs from the rich to go right into the lower class hands.
Sure buddy that is exactly what we'll do..We are corporate America and develope companies and jobs. Without us you have only the government to support you. Look at 1933 in the great depression. Europeans are weak and not known for strong work ethic.

Corporations are known for exploiting strong work ethics. Not creating ethics. Destroying them.
