Quite the contrary.

Without the employer, the employees would have no job.

People place too much emphasis on their value to their employer.

In other words, you're upset that you are a low wage earner, or unemployed, and want to lash out at someone.

Look friend....I have very big shoulders. Use me as your punching bag!

Talk-radio/Fox News Republicans stick their head in the sand when it comes to this form of 'government handouts'...Instead they focus all of their anger and rage towards the crack momma getting a whopping 15k/yr in gov't handouts.

Does it make sense now?
We're not talking about corporate tax breaks.

But since you mentioned it, we on the right are the only ones who are talking about real tax reform.

A flat tax with no loopholes is what we want.

Let me know if you need any more help understanding things...I'm always happy to help the less fortunate
You prefer filtering money through a bureaucracy rather than being able to help those whom YOU choose to?

Now....one more time....pay attention.

Provider....someone who has a federal tax burden every year.

Recipient....someone who doesn't, but receives government services every year.

Sure they do, it is in the constitution.

No where does the Constitution say that those who are working should have their incomes confiscated to pay for those who aren't working.

"Welfare" did not originally mean the Marxist redistribution programs.

General welfare could just as easily or more logically be interpreted as having the government keep out of our lives and our wallets. Let people keep what they work for -- that would be a truer meaning of the term "general welfare".
