At what point do those who work, and pay taxes so these layabouts can have their leisure, and put them to work against their will? We aren't doing them any favors. They have nothing to be proud of.

Romney's Bain Of Existence: Reaganomics Redux

No more "trickle down economics". We've already seen it in action. It doesn't work. You really don't want hungry people on the loose. They don't behave in a particularly polite manner. Besides, how can we run around the world unseating dictators who abuse their people if our own are hungry because there aren't enough jobs and the safety net has been yanked? Under Reaganomics, jobs were created in other countriesm and that's where the investments were made - foreign lands. Nope. It doesn't work, and that's all that Romney has offered up as an alternative to Obama. Too bad. I don't think we're interested in a further decline for working class Americans and even more increased concentrated wealth for the already privileged.

House Budget Committee Chairman and Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan said Saturday in Fort Worth that President Barack Obama wants to build a government-centered society instead of 1 based on God and nature.
Looks like Rep. Ryan Paul is up to the famous CONservative ideology of LYING and being one hell of a hypocrite.
He says the US government should be centered on God and Nature but on the other hand he want to cut food stamps to our nations most needy people.
Who in the fk does this clown thing he's tying to bullshit?

<quoted text>Ask yourself why we have policies in place that ENCOURAGE people who cannot provide for their children to have children. Why do you suppose government has set up this situation in the first place?
Everybody needs to take a look at what government has decided is the path America will take in the future. We will do whatever we can to rapidly increase the population, take down living standards and prepare to compete head on with China and India. Our population: nearing 314,000,000. The population of India: 1.21 Billion, and China: 1.33 Billion. Can you see why we're doing what we're doing? We have rapidly increased the cost of a college education to make smart people pause and consider whether the payoff is worth the debt and encouraged pursuit of technical training. Wages have already declined enough for companies to see the viability of manufacturing onshore again, while concurrently looking for the next cheap labor and unregulated environment where they can replace their China/Mexico production facilities. It will ebb and flow depending on how rapid is the descent of living standard in America.
We can never preserve our environment and natural resources by placing such an unsustainable burden on America, but that hasn't stopped the predator capitalists from milking everything they can get out of this society and ignoring the harm. It's a very short sighted approach upon which we've set sail.
Nobody asked the American people if they would prefer another option. Our future has been predetermined by plutocratic rule of the elite who make the decisions for us and keep us as ignorant as possible while they proceed on course.
In reality, the American people don't have representation by either of the two parties, and we haven't had for a very long time. For awhile, they fed us credit and toys and distractions while they robbed us blind. Our bad. Now, they hold the middle class hostage with our 401-Ks and retirement plans. We can hardly speak out against these policies, because it's the only security we have left - the market. So, we are compelled to hate the poor and focus our attention there instead of looking at how very much of whatever we have ever accumulated or inherited has been transferred away from us and to the top of the food chain. The government spends 3X as much in corporate welfare as in social welfare. The social welfare is just to make sure they're producing those bodies at replacement levels and then some. The lords and ladies need more serfs.
Our tax dollars don't go to educate our children so they can think and innovate or invent. They go to feather the nests of already wealthy and powerful people who manipulate and control us. If they need some brains? They'll import them from other countries and make sure that they earn enough that it's better here than from whence they came, and since these newcomers don't know the difference in America now and America then, they're unlikely to ever be much of a problem to the people they serve.

A person cannot receive welfare unless they're a US Citizen. If you want to break it down by race, more whites in raw numbers use welfare services in the USA. If you take welfare away, you'll hurt more whites than those pesky fking illegals that you hate so much.
Now the fastest growing group of people that are jumping on board the welfare gravy train are the illegals who drop an anchor but those anchors are still a US Citizen and unfortunately they're Hispanics.
Cutting welfare at a time where you have a large portion of the US population relying on this benefit due to a sluggish economy simply to feel like you're making a difference against the illegals is insane because the only person you'll really hurt are Americans as only American are eligible to receive those benefits in the first place.
Look, I get the enforcement by attrition thing and I also agree that shit needs to be done about this bottomless pit of illegals coming here and using their kids as a Las Vegas casino jackpot but setting them aside for a moment, if you get rid of welfare or cut it, you're only going to hurt more American people than illegals and their US children.

Ok! I asked myself why these policies? My answer to you is take a real hard look at the 45 goals to take over America as written by the Communist Party, and placed into the Congressional Record in 1963. And if you can't find them, I'll be glad to post them right here for ya.

Can't get welfare unless a citizen, huh? Well, you come tell my next door neighbor that.
And where do you get I hate illegals?
Fact: 1800 world population 1 billion.
1932 world population 2 billion.(132 year gap).
2012 world population 7 billion.( 90 year gap).
Where are we going to get the necessary resources to feed, house, and educate 17 billion people in 45 years? The world's support system is not failing because I hate illegals. It's failing because the world has too many 'illegals' and too many 'government cloned parasites', but no more RESOURCES to keep the big lie propped up. And the big lie is "America is the land of plenty."

Spoken like a true liberal, and as usual pointing the finger at Republicans for not 'offering' an alternative to Obama. If you support Obama, he doesn't need an alternative, but if Obama's stuff ain't working, and it's not, the Republicans have been offering an alternative for three and a half years-DEFEAT OBAMA IN NOVEMBER!
Now if that doesn't work for ya, then YOU come up with some alternatives, other than just 'cheap shot' lip service.

Yes your illegal aliens get welfare. The first thing they do is go apply for all the freebies. Sometimes the stop getting it if they get a job, and sometime they don't. You don't live near a city do you? Our illegals know all the angles, food stamps, rent subsidities, healthcare, cell phones. They get everything. Think about that Monday when you are getting ready to go to work to pay taxes to a government that spreads the wealth.

Since I am not a "teabagger Repub" I don't know. You might want to read some of my post where I have stated I vote for a candidate as an independent/conservative, I vote for the person who will do the job, and I don't vote for idiots who lie or wave political labels in my face.
I am against abortion, has nothing to do with my politics, it's a personal conviction. I favor birth control-I'm not Catholic.
I am a Constitution supporter, not a libertarian, and certainly not a Communist or Socialist. As you pro-choice folks like to say, I'm free to do with my body and my brain as I see fit without your interference, or permission.
Now what?
