I don't wish to assist those who WON'T provide for themselves.

And who are they? Identify them.

Maybe if they were paid more they would.

You make no sense. Why not just explain it? How can someone who doesn't understand any reasoning in the OPs post be brainwashed according to someone who disagrees with the OPs post? Have you no intelligence?

Maybe you do agree with the OP here and thus you support his reasoning?

Thanks point proven!

The 'provider' class gets many many handouts and benefits from the government, at the expense of the 'recipient' class.

Corporations get a never ending amount of 'write-offs', 'subsidies', 'welfare', etc., all of which are paid for by the rest of us.

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?

What point? That I don't know what the OPs qualifications are for the two classes he mentions? You didn't get that by reading the third post of this thread? Are you that slow? I didn't ask you what you said. I can read what you said. I asked you how can you say that? The OP hasn't defined who the providers and recipients are. Half the participants in this thread have brought this up. But you seem to understand what he's talking about. Since you and the OP are on the same page, why no just explain it?

WOW...ok I'll explain it for you...The OP is making the insinuation that all of us whom don't own businesses, aren't high up execs, etc., are the 'recipient' class. The 'provider' class are the enlightened few whom give us jobs, money, oxygen, etc. They are the 'smartest people in the room', who run companies into the ground, destroy economies, and walk away with millions for their 'hard work'.

Let me know if you need any more help understanding things...I'm always happy to help the less fortunate

Your last sentence seems to push your ignorance and lack of intelligence on top of what the OP was saying. Your method of deduction doesn't apply here. In fact, that type of thought process rarely applies. Not all swans are white (but maybe you'll never realize that). Clearly, most business owners and higher up execs don't run companies to the ground. Just like most underprivileged working class folks don't scam the government for welfare.

See, I took the OPs thread to mean that the provider class is anyone who pays taxes, while the recipient class is anyone who receives welfare, etc. That seems more obvious than as a provider/recipient relationship than your interpretation. Maybe I was giving the OP too much credit.

Yeah your giving him too much credit. He's a hardcore right-winger...Of the mindset that the '1%ers' rule the world and whom we owe everything too. The rest of us should just be thankful for them letting us live, so we are the 'recipients'.

Don't worry, your Republican/GOP education will continue here According to them none of us pay taxes and we are all just recipients of some type of handouts that come at the expense of the uber-smart at the top.

So why are the employee there there if the employer is not making any money? Have you heard of customer service and treating the customer well so they will come back? That is the employee doing that. How do you figure the business owner is going to make money without his employees?

You don't get it...According to Republicans all the rich people are rich because they sprinkle themselves with magical rich person fairy dust every morning. Us worker idiots have nothing to do with any of it. And if they decide one day they don't want to give us the gift of life anymore because Obama implements some kind of socialist, communist, nazi policy, then we are all going to suffer because they are going to just up and take their magical rich person fairy dust and go somewhere else.

In fact, according to Republicans, we are the biggest thorn in the magical rich peoples lives. If it wasn't for us 'recipients', they wouldn't have to worrry about those free-market killing things like insurance, living wage, safety, etc. So instead of an 800k house they could live in a 2 million dollar home.

So just get down on your knees, thank baby jesus that a rich person is there to give you the gift of a free-market life because, god knows, if a millionaire has to pay an extra 10k in taxes, its all going to go away and you'll have NOTHING!
