Welfare reform is about requiring that those who depend on food stamps, ssi, and Wic be held accountable about how they spend taxpayer money to make sure they use it right. Fiscal conservatives complain about how some unemployed single mother with 5 children spends her money on a big screen TV instead of using it to feed her kids and find work. That's understandable but what about Tax cuts? We give Tax breaks to filthy rich CEOs because we hope that they will use it to build up their buisnesses and help the economy. Instead they use it to boost their multi-million dollar salaries and go on 5 vacations to cancoon. And Jobs? They keep sending them overseas. What if we gave a tax break of a billion dollars to some poor single mother and she did the same thing? Conservatives would be shaking their fists and having a tantrum! But this is the rich were talking about here. We give tax cuts and tax breaks to the rich which is welfare for the rich but there is no accountability? I propose that we have tax cut reforms. We should require that the wealthy use the majority of the money to plow back into their buisnesses and make jobs. And if they outsource so much as a custodial job to China they should get nothing. I also remember how Neal Boortz commented that those who recieve benefits shouldn't be allowed to vote or be sterilized. Well why not the rich too? They abuse tax cuts just as much as a lot of poor people abuse government benefits. Fair is Fair. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. What could be wrong with this? No welfare, no tax cuts. Simple as that.

I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Whats ibtz mean and what does mark 5:9 mean?
The rich earned their money. It's theirs. Keep your thieving greedy little hands off it.
If you want to help the poor, pony up your own dough, cheapskate.
What have you done for the world recently, burger flipper?
IBTZ.
You are welcome to forego any tax cuts you wish - it's your money.
And that, BTW, is the difference.
Welfare is largesse. It's money for nothing. Tax cuts are not taking away money that I've earned. This is like arguing that giving money to charity and not robbing someone at gunpoint are morally equivalent.
You hurry on back to DU now.
Mark 5:9: And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.
Seriously, you're more than a little retarded.
A poor single mother owes little or no taxes. Therefore, you could give her a "tax cut" of a billion or ten billion dollars, and it would have absolutely no effect on her tax bill.
Why are liberals so goddamned dumb?

Welfare is to people who haven't earned anything.
The tax cuts are monies to people who ALREADY EARNED IT. When you earn it, you can spend it however you want, zotbreath.
What? You're already gone, you say?
We have very, very fast kitties around here.
Didn't read it. No paragraphs. Hurts my eyes.
It's submarine jargon - ya know, like when the skipper looks through the periscope and calls out, "Mark! 5, 9!"...
/sarcasm...
Welfare is giving the poor my money.
Tax cuts are letting me keep my money.
And you see no difference?

Batting fried troll corpses is fun!
To liberals, it's all the government's money. People are just allowed to carry around varying amounts until the government wants it back.
That's how socialism works. All property is owned by the Almighty State, to be dispensed as the opinion leaders see fit.
