Well that safety net has kept a lot of people close to the bottom for a long time. If it doesnt elevate people then it doesnt work.

it is not meant to elevate people. that is not how it is designed to work.

by your same logic, since my hammer does not perform the functions of a drill bit, it does not work. see how dumb that sounds?

you know who the recession didn't effect as much as others? seniors. why? social safety net.

yet you'd like to sit here and tell me that because my grandma doesn't own a condo in palm gardens, SS must not work.

it really is infantile logic.

You are correct about that sir. It is meant to increase dependence and thus voter reliability. I blame it on the politicians.

Shit man I see people in the hood driving a lot nicer car than me lol. I think welfare is killing the black community if you don't have to work why would you? Now before anyone gets on their cross and starts reading way to deep into what I'm saying, I can't wait until all are equal, but its not something that can be given away one has to earn it.

i thought it was meant to keep grandma from having to eat cat food, but conspiracy theories are always fun too.

re you really under the impression that you can afford big fancy cars on welfare?

Nah I'm fuckin with the haters.

No, the boyfriend that is shacked up illegally with the woman and welfare kids buys the fancy car cause he doesnt have to pay rent, utilities or groceries...

Duh...

Duh...

what started out as a perfectly appropriate MLK thread has devolved into this, basically. perpetuation of racist stereotypes.

good work, people.

I didnt include race in my statement, you did.

Why is it assumed by some people that when you talk about welfare you always are talking about blacks and when you talk about illegal immigration that you are always talking about hispanics? I think it is because they are closet bigots...

Listen my people suffered as well, we don't have to act like savages though I'm sure Mr. King would be very disappointed.

Disappointed is a good word. Every portrait I've ever seen of him looks so totally annoyed, with good reason IMPO.

I know plenty of crackers who abuse the system and won't find a job, sure they make $$ on the side to make it all work out....

Jesus. What kind of life is that... are you saying you WANT THAT KIND OF LUXURY? Oh great, now I feel just like a portrait of MLK.

Well while we are on the topic.. why do people think states requiring ID's to vote is discriminatory. The states even said if it was required they would give them out for free.. How is that discriminating against anyone? I haven't read much about it but really.

 

[UncleBuck]

The black people are sitting around waiting for some sort of economic opportunity to be bestowed upon them.

Look at the track record of the indians and the african americans.... The biggest (percentage) dole recipients in America.

I didnt include race in my statement, you did.

i have a memory span greater than yours, apparently.

Why is it assumed by some people that when you talk about welfare you always are talking about blacks...I think it is because they are closet bigots...

or, maybe it is because the person has actually been talking about blacks the whole time in an MLK thread

that is such a classic move though...accuse the accuser. a classic FAIl move, but a classic one nonetheless.

Yep, plenty of "white" people on welfare too. But I blame the industrial food system that is poisoning them, their brains, and their kids. It sucks for everyone, even those of us who have the opportunity to "do good" and "work hard" for "our money." Shit is all rigged, thank gawd I have my brain and my health enough to make intelligent and conscious decisions for myself and others. Seriously grateful for that!!!

it is effectively an unconstitutional poll tax that disproportionately targets certain voters to fix a problem that doesn't even exist.

besides that, it's a gem of an idea.

so more white people have ID's than black people?

How many people honestly don't have an ID or drivers licensed

I referred to african americans and indians because they have been the greatest victims of it. More and more whites are falling into it too. The democrats only care about the dependence, not the color.

Newt Gingrich would rather a black person had a paycheck rather than food stamps and I agree with him. That makes me racist?

You guys are so intellectually lazy it is sad.

Silly rabbit... You don't need any ID to vote! Come hop on the party bus were going precinct to precinct on election day! Just remember you name is John Smith or Jane Doe!

Bad grammar, assumption, and a judgment verging on hyperbole... Now THAT's about as intellectually lazy as you can get. Good one!
