Isn't it funny how people on welfare defend Obama constantly. Tells you something about the president. What exactly do you think he is going to do for you anyway. Almost 5 years in and from all the bitching and moaning it doesn't sound like it got better for you.
Oh yea and all you are doing is trying to justify having to accept other peoples money. Even changing the words to take out the stigma. lol, it is what it is. I never would have thought I would see the day whee people were proud of living on welfare.
OMG. Grow up and stop assuming I don't already support myself. People who are not sociopaths are fine paying taxes so people have food, shelter, and healthcare.
You seem to be really pissed because you are apparently working really hard (while being online all day everyday) and have not gotten RICH yet. Most people are content working hard to make ends meet and live a modest life style. So who is greedy here?
Then you won't have an issue with a flat tax where EVERYONE pays taxes right?

No. Poor people already pay plenty of their income in taxes. They pay income taxes and property taxes that eat up a huge percentage of their income. You are already in the 1% (if you are being honest about getting taxed more since the recent tax legislation passed) and are complaining like you are being persecuted. Even with a higher tax rate (which is only higher on that top percentage of your income, not all of it!) you have far more disposable income than the vast majority of Americans. You are not suffering.
I already said I am fine with small business owners not getting taxed on the income they choose to reinvest in their business.

Even Thomas Jefferson advocated taxing only the rich to provide basic services to everyone. He thought discouraging people from amassing wealth was good for democracy. I guess he didn't have a clue at all, right?
I am an andvocate of helping the underprivileged and the poor. No country in our time can ignore that and the US who helps others must first take care of its poor.
That said, currently there are 47M people on food stamps. If this number continues to grow we can reach the non return point. The burden may be such, that no country can carry (even if raising taxes on the rich). When we hit this point, guess who suffers first...Hint- these will not be the rich. I can promise you that.
Therefore, the effort must go to job creation, employing more people, in any way, at any cost.

lol, look at the libby trying justify herself and welfare. Can't make it on their own so they got one hand in other peoples pockets then want to dictate how they spend the rest.
Keep trying to justify it. No matter what you say, people on welfare still need others to pay their bills.

This is true but the problem is that the people who will suffer the most have to see it actually happen before they believe it. Until then they think the money supply is never ending. So they continue to push for more and when the job creators say that it's too much they will not believe you. Obviously it has to crash before they will believe it.
