In today's world, in part, yes.

And since when is $200k filthy rich? Really?
I said no such thing. Don't put words into my mouth.

Yet Obama ran around campaigning on raising taxes on $200k, you know, as he called them "millionaires and billionaires. And his naive and ignorant base fell for it. Who was he targeting? Upper "middle class", government already drained the lower and middle, middle class. Obama didn't go after the filthy rich.
Screw Obama. Enough, already. Talk to me, petch. I couldn't care less about Obama nor your opinion of him.

Government is a vogue term when it comes to social welfare program.

I prefer to dig into my own pocket and help someone, but when IRS (government) reaches into my pocket and decide how to be charitable on my behalf, me no like it.

According to that report southern states have the rate of about 70 to 79% of births paid for by medicaid as oppose to 30 % in northern states. And yet southern states are the loudest at hating social welfare programs.

The welfare system enslaves them. No longer can you see the shackles. But they are slaves to their masters nonetheless. And most do not desire to run away. I know this, my mom is a welfare queeeeen. She games the system. I use to have to use real food stamps to buy stuff. I also had to get powdered milk and blocks of cheese. I wish they still did it that way.

Agreed, but charity is not enough. If it were, we wouldn't need these programs.

Tax money going to social programs does not bother me.

Oh so you just want to ignore what Obama did. As his base screams I hate bankers, I hate CEO's, I hate the rich. And Obama runs around saying tax the rich, the millionaires and billionaires making $200k a year and his ignorant base cheers as Obama is attacking those nasty super duper rich.
