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.
Seven years of college down the drain if you cannot figure that one out.

:( you make babies cry.
Cancoon? No, I always prefer to have my coon fresh...
Taxes are money confiscating tools that the government places on people who earn mostly higher than normal incomes to fund governement employment, unions (teachers) and the welfare state.
Welfare is tax dollars distributed to people who didn't earn it with a need that should be short term but that too many make careers out of.
Taxes get reduced near the top earners because they are paying most all the taxes.
The lower middle class down pay nothing now, so they already have the ultimate tax cut.
If you give tax relieve to a champion earner, more than likely they will invest it back into the economy or create new jobs and businesses.
The wealthy in our country for the most part are very charitable compared to any other countries in the world and if great wealth is accumulated, often foundations are formed for charity and scholarships.
Seems it is all night and day between giving tax relief to those that earned money and what a welfare recipient is.
I have no problem with the temporary safety net, but it should be a short term benefit unless they are out of their mind or severely physically handicapped IMO.
Tax cuts are bribing people with their own money.
GOOD kitty! :-)
I'm starting to wish the mods would leave the daily posting from the 9/11 conspiracy troll. He might quit if he figures out that 100% of us think he's an idiot and aren't reading it anyway.
Quite simply the difference is that welfare takes my money and gives it to someone else, while tax cuts allow me to keep more of my own money. Is that to difficult a concept for your infantile mind to grasp?
Big 'ol lunch time ZOT.
I'll re-size it later. This size seemed apprpriate for the occation.
Looks cute, doesn't it? It'll cut your eyes out and slaughter your entire family before you can say "KAWAII NEKO-CHAN!"
I have a widescreen monitor and that pic STILL forces me to scroll sideways. I mean, dammit, man! That thing is, like, two screens wide!
And Resized..... LOL!
Yeah, I've got a couple of those at home. Sweet looking little furry things....but don't piss 'em off!
How is it being home, Allegra?
