I am not versed on vegan, vegetarian or similar lifestyles. Is corn taboo to a vegan? I thought with corn being a vegetable it was on the menu.
I'm not sure I want to ever give up meat but I'm trying to eliminate processed foods and I know corn is a high carb food so I'm not a fan, and if corn subsidies went away with our ethanol boner I wouldn't cry. I am interested to know why it's bad juju for vegans. My diet sucks and I need all the education I can get.

In 2011, America spent $927 billion in welfare and related programs alone. $74 billion towards world wide poverty is only a drop in the pool, IMO.

There are roughly 1.5 billion people in poverty worldwide. Not including the money it would cost to administer the aid, $74 billion would equal a one time payment of roughly $50 per person in poverty. It's more like a drop in the lake...

There may be some initial layoffs as a result of greedy business owners trying to desparately cling to their wealth disparity. Their thought being if I have more of a tax expense and continue to employ a workforce at the same level and wages there will be less of the pie left over for me to gorge my bloated ass on. However, those companies will ultimately be replaced by others who are willing to step into the competitive space and conduct business without the preconceived idea that the top guy needs to be taking home 10X the salary of the next layer of management. The most qualified and attractive workers will provide their services to companies that fall into the latter category with full benefits and a boss who lives well, but perhaps not like a Rockefeller of days gone by.
Do not forget, taxes are levied on what is left over as net income (or profit) after the expenses of a company are paid. Not off the top. A business who is willing to put more of what would have been 'profit' into paying for things like employee benefits and wages will not be impacted to the extent of one who's owner insists on squeezing out every drop for himself.

most health nuts accept corn as the anti christ, the hybridizd maze aka corn, is not anything natural other than unnatural selection on our part, most people, not originally inhabitants of north/south america, do not metabolize it the same as other carbs . . . . corn is in everything as filler+ vitamins(that your body only absorbs 10% of of max) and hence one of the reason why we and other first world processed food nations are the biggest . . . .. . corn makes the cows fat and it does us too . . . .and all the by products from it fuck us as well
one reason why i think CS is either a Bullshitter or a trend jumper and just does what US weekly says is this weeks health craze

bump to wrangle this thread back to the OT
I got tested for drugs monthly, never stopped doing them. Urine tests are easy to fool.
Some know nothing was spouting off about how correlation equals causation (Dukie), Hey look, the more we spend on fighting poverty the more poverty there is.
I mean really, we are at the exact same poverty level we were at when this whole anti poverty campaign started. Government has PROVEN itself ineffective at helping people get out of poverty.
Don't forget the 65,000 new IRS agents that ensure people like Dukie and Bucky pay me my tribute.

Yet, not one person was denied any benefits because of failing a drug test. I would have been satisfied if they could keep the benefits but had to attend drug counseling. At least for hard drugs.

It looks like you suck at reading graphs... take another look...

I was just telling my wife the solution yesterday. Every single police force in the nation should hire unemployed people to hand out fines and ticket others. You know, start cracking down on all the uninforced laws in this country. If they do it right, the proceeds will outwiegh the salaries and costs. The more cops..the more revenue..the more cops..no unemployment.
Everybody has a job...everybody's happy!
LOL, was there an increase in spending over the last 20 years? Yep. Did the poverty rate decrease, nope sure didn't it actually increased.
Point proven, also YOU haven't got any idea how to read a graph do you?
What year did LBJ start the war on poverty again? 1965? Yep and poverty was LESS of an issue then.
HAHAHA I love pointing out stupid people.

really?
lyndon johnson launched his "war on poverty" in 1964. which on this graph would place the % of population in "poverty" at just under 15% and at the end of the graph's timeline you can clearly see that the rate is just a hair above 15%.
looks like the remedial student be thee, not he.

All that seems pretty reasonable. I think that those who abuse the system should face some kind of punishment, though. Most people convicted of welfare fraud face no more of a sanction than losing their benefits, and they can still reapply. We weren't always a global economy, tho. Not too long ago, America was the consumer for much of the worlds production. Our exports were relatively low. Now, China and India are becoming large consumers. Is it possible that we can go back to a largely self-sufficient economy? I don't know. Most of the recent decline in the global economy is related to massive government debt. At some point, unless the global economy can recover, expect to world wide default on these debts. China, that world's leader on holding that debt, would be screaming bloody murder, but do we really care? Unfortunately, privately held retirement investments like your 401k would take the biggest hit of all.

That's one thing the Nazis don't get enough credit for
They were really good at eliminating unemployment
