Free healthcare: First incarnation was passed by Republicans at the state level.
Free phones: Reagan
Free tuition: First incarnation was passed by Republicans at the state level.
Sooooo NJ, by your view, one could reasonably conclude that you would be fine if we cut it all off now? How about affirmative action? Can we cut that too? WIC? I think we as republicans need to make these gross oversights go away. Good point. Let's start cutting all these programs.

Not going to name names. Just want to point out that "some people" come on here just to argue with Both sides of the opposition about everything. You'll never get anywhere with this "certain person" so I don't even bother replying. Just my two cents.
There's just no end to all the stuff that they keep coming up with to spend more of peoples' money on.
Free healthcare
Free housing
Free utilities
Free food
Welfare
Free phones
Free tuition
Why stop there? How about free flat screens, free cable TV, free cars, free furniture, free laptops, and free tablets? Am I missing anything?
Stanford, no surprise.
Conservatives have been doing this for the rich for centuries. Greater perks, greater consideration, a free pass for every damn thing.
Conservatives are also generous with other people's LIVES. They think nothing of lying to send our troops to die in war. Their ideal health care system is essentially, "if you get sick, DIE."
The Obama proposal will turn community college into yet another entitlement. It will almost certainly encourage legions of students to simply burn government money and “hang out” for two years after high school before they start to get serious about education, careers, and life in general if ever, by then they have child on the way.
How do you fee about multi-billion dollar corporations that find loopholes to pay no taxes? I think they cost the average taxpayer more. Can you prove that is not the case?
Free housing is unlikely, but reduced rent housing is indeed a govt program. Free food? 15% can't afford to eat without govt giving food stamps.
Welfare: It was discovered govt workers get paid about $2,000 to send someone a $700 check.
Free healthcare: The neediest pay almost nothing. Other poor get less of a discount.
My income from govt Social Security & Disability together is less than $25 a day, which is the average workers pay per hour. I have at least 25 disabilities, so should I die to improve the world?
Govt has not offered me a free phone, but I'm not complaining.
Govt not encouraging me to go back to school at age 63.
Govt does not pay utilities for me. I live with my elderly mom & pay her from govt money.
We have computer & TVs, cable we can hardly afford, not paid by govt. Furniture not paid by govt.
My mom paid for her car & I don't have one. Where do you get your info?

I would advocate that NO corporation or business EVER be taxed. They don't pay taxes anyway. The end user and those who they employ pay it.

Then we need to stop raising the cost of food with taxes and regulations.

No, you should be required to ASK people for what you want.
If you took away safety nets from the urban yoof there would be mayhem on the streets akin to post-war baghdad.
Cool theory and everything, but the truth is the zionist powers know we have to throw the "youth" that refuse to work a few bones to keep from them from completely running wild.
It's a pointless exercise, this waxing philosophical about "rights" and so on. We're too far past all that. We have to think practically.
People out there are milking 200 dollar per person per month food stamps, living in free housing, selling heroin for side money and still the robbing working people because "they ain't got no money to feed dey babiez."
Imagine if you took that stuff away.
