kinda like football where we have rules that encourage the competition we would like to see. In other words a "market system." So called free markets allow people to profit by defending up hill, rolling rocks down upon them and perhaps adding hot water to their laundry to shrink uniforms.
It would also be nice if 7 points did not inflate to 10 or deflate to 4.
Now suppose a rich team from NYC buys up from goal to the 10 yard line? Then the Titans would be flagged for trespassing trying to score. The problem is any great athlete on the Titans would be cheated and the Giants could and would become fat, lazy slugs. I think I would change the channel.
What welfare benefits? Food stamps? I thought there was a 5 year lifetime limit on those.
Really? Children will only get food stamp benefits for 5 years? That limit only applies to ABAWDs, Able-bodied Adults Without Dependents. Hence, the 3 times higherbirth rate of those receiving public assistance.
I didn't record the public service announcement. Think about that...
I did.... Which makes me wonder why you are posting it and passing it off like its the norm or even vaguely close to it. It's because you are a liar who cares more about ideology.

No, it's because even recording artist "Chapter" recognizes the problem. Here are some direct quotes from her: "This is where the taxpayer money goes."And, "It's free! Swipe your EBT."
Oh, and another exact quote... "All you gotta do is f*ck, and 9 months later you're getting the big bucks."
People believe in trickle down economics because they don't see the big picture. It never hit home for the longest time until now. Also, the rich have the means to cover up all the flaws in the system and place the onus on the poor because the poor and working class lack the wherewithal to defend themselves the way the rich do. We have this mindset in America that whenever we throw money to the rich and hand out golden parachutes, it's good for business. Yet when we give money to the poor and working class, that's socialism. Ronald Reagan was a better actor than he ever was a president.
I would certainly say Bill Gates is wealthy beyond belief and he certainly has proved trickle down works... both in those with jobs tied to him and the operating system and to the billions given to charity...
I don't know how much bigger a picture one could have.
My god-sister got a part time summer high school job for a little start-up in Cupertino CA with 150 employees... she liked working for Apple so much, she went full time upon High School graduation...
Her working as clerical help made it possible for her to buy a home in a very expensive market with nothing more than a high school diploma...
How else would anyone describe her success if not for trickle down... someone at the bottom of the employment ladder making enough to buy a home with no special skills, talent or education?

We are handing more to the rich today than at any point in the history of the country.
