No actually conservative beliefs are that society has a moral obligation to care for the vulnerable. The conservative Heritage Foundation came up with the idea of mandating health insurance, because it is more "responsible" and more cost-efficient.
That doesn't play well to your "greed is good" narrative.
Now only if the left's belief would be that people should be responsible for themselves unless a "very good" reason. Instead, we have too many dead beats that could care less how the middle class is busting their ass to pay their way.
If you are waiting for a politician of any stripe to not "ignore" you, which I'm guessing implies they should DO something for you/owe you something, I think you found the problem. Solutions come from within, not waiting for someone else to do something/do the heavy lifting for you or me.
Excellent post steve. Anyone who waits for someone else to do what needs to be done will remain poor.
wow, really? Oh that's right, you think government has money growing on trees. No, they get money from hard working American people. They need the same thing as household
Income / Revenue: (taxes)
Expenses: Studying shrimp running on a treadmill, dead beats, and the list of waste goes on
Assets: What they own that produces money (the American middle class)
Liabilities: long term debt that suck up the revenues (like interest on debt)
Cash Flow
No, they don't.
Governments issue currency. Households use currency. Governments issue currency with the stroke of a keyboard. You earn income. As hard as you work, you will never create a U.S. dollar out of thin air.
Government liabilities are private sector assets. If the government creates a debt, that dollar is in the private sector. Money is debt. This is double-entry bookkeeping.
So you admit it's desirable to keep as many Blacks as possible dumb and poor, Ã lathe Democrats. Interesting...
The Straw Man fallacy is committed when a person simply ignores a person's actual position and substitutes a distorted, exaggerated or misrepresented version of that position.

The areas with the highest poverty rates are cities (excluding their suburbs), not rural areas.
It's not drastically different. Rural areas also receive lots of welfare in the form of SNAP and farm subsidies.

You know,... I thought about this too. He's been good for my pocketbook but it's my family (middle class) that is getting killed and has me worried. I help but with the government grab, it's hurt my ability to help more.
Exactly my thoughts. I hate that my kids and their future kids will have to pay for those Trillions he gave to his rich fat cat buddies on Wall Street. I´m 7 figures richer since Odummy took office but I would rather have less and not put a huge debt on future generations like he´s done.
