Please dismantle subsidies to the poor. Every red blooded southern politician should reject money from the ARC, Medicaid, SNAP- everything. Get rid of it. Unemployment insurance should go out as well. If you can't save money or work- tough crap. Let the states deal with it. Get off my dime!
Also sick of giving these freeloaders my hard-earned money:
• Bank of America
• General Electric
• Ford Motor
• JP Morgan Chase
• Boeing
• Eaton
• Ensco
• NRG Energy
• Florida Power & Light
• Southern Energy
We seem to have forgotten all of the Corporate bailouts we had to give banks & Corporations in 2008 under Dubya yet complain about some single Mom on Welfare buying potato chips for her kid.
It's so predictable. Every time a conservative expresses their desire to reduce their handout fees, liberals act like it's some part of an evil plan to oppress the poor. Why don't they get that we're just sick of our hard-earned money going to people who didn't earn it?
Lol - no, no - like most conservatives, you just want YOUR handouts, because you "deserve it."
Your roads, public schools, state colleges, police, pension, social security, medicare, military, etc. You figure others are obligated to provide you with a comfortable life so you can sit around, blasting out hate on the internet, but the moment somebody less fortunate needs something to survive, then they are suddenly "demanding handouts."
Maybe if right-wing morons hadn't been instrumental in crashing the economy and sending jobs overseas, there wouldn't be so many unemployed in this nation. But, again - as is typical - that means nothing to you. So long as you have a job, everything is great, and to heck with everyone else.
Speaking of handouts, are you in favor of ending corporate welfare? Huge taxbreaks to monstrously profitable businesses... bailed out banks... social programs to keep minimum wage workers alive because their soulless, mega-profitable corporate masters won't pay them enough to live... Nah, I didn't think so.
Pointing fingers at each other isn't very helpful. Both sides want to take people's money by force and give to causes those people disagree with. How about we criticize the fact that we're all forced to fund things we find destructive and immoral instead of being allowed to choose for ourselves which causes we support?

I actually don't think many people object to helping the poor. Sometimes people have a real need for help. My main beef is the WASTE in the programs, the duplication of the programs, the graft and corruption in the programs and the Industry that teaches Leeches to manipulate these programs.
It appears that the only way to correct the above problems is to cut the funding. Same is true of the corrupt IRS, the corrupt Justice Department, the corrupt EPA and the list is legion.
And I just knew the first answer to the question you asked that didn't please you would be greeted by some 'liberal this, liberal that' , don't ask the question if you don't want answers eh?
The reality is conservatives, despite all their hot air to the contrary, aren't interested in cutting spending, only in diverting fund from programs they don't like into ones they do
This^^. Although, my governor is a democrat doing the conservative dream. In CT, our governor is about to sign a budget that punishes the middle class and businesses, cuts health insurance to poor families YET coddles the super rich hedge fund managers with tax breaks.
waste is what many conservatives dislike, whether by the government or by the individual. Of course there are people who need help, but help shouldn't last a lifetime.
Our government is out of control, regulations out of control, free money for everything and everyone.
I am more then willing to help someone get on their feet, but I resent propping them up through bad decision after bad decision after bad decision. After a while.... you are own your own.

Like most liberals you have no idea that paying for something is different than a handout. If left wing morons weren't so determined to buy the votes of the least productive members of society and keep them down there wouldn't be so many unemployed in this nation.
It's greedy to want to keep what you EARNED, but not greedy to demand what someone else earned, Orwell would be proud of todays liberals.
I'm almost afraid to post anything, since every time someone says something that isn't 'you're absolutely correct' it's because everyone else is a typical liberal.
But here it goes:
Perhaps if conservatives were as willing to cut corporate welfare as they were to cut social welfare, it wouldn't seem anti-poor. But when conservatives speak of the budget, social welfare is always the first to go, followed by cutting unnecessary departments (which I agree should be done), and reducing public spending in general. But military budget and corporate welfare are perfectly acceptable. Why is that?
