Did you know that 50% of the folks on welfare are immigrants?
It used to be that no one could immigrate to the U.S. unless they had a sponsor. Obviously that no longer is the case.
Thus the skyrocketing numbers on welfare.

Thanks for posting that. It doesn’t just “read like the current administration agenda” — it fits the current administration to a tee. What a recipe for disaster.

The "zero tax liability" concept is somewhat deceitful because it doesn't count welfare payments thinly disguised as negative income taxes. I read a few weeks back that, if you sum up people with NEGATIVE taxes and zero tax liability (ie, EITC), then the bottom 60% pay NO income tax. We are truly at a "tipping point."

The more I read the more depressed and angry I became. I don’t get the need to destroy the US and capitalism. We are the most free people of the globe. My only conclusion - is the absence of God in the politics of these people

Alinsky was a follower of Cloward-Piven. Anybody who is knowledgeable in the Cloward-Piven strategy and Alinsky tactics understands 0’s game plan. He doesn’t have an original thought and is following their road to socialism/communism precisely.

I think you’re correct. We are not an immoral society if our government does not pay for all citizens’ medical care. I only meant that it would be humane it were cheap.
Universal medical care makes sense to me only if every able-bodied citizen pays the same premium with no subsidies except for the truly disabled. Of course the premium would have to be very low for this to work, which won’t happen.
Thanks for the graphs — 34 percent pay no tax. This can’t be America!

Wow, we can't continue to go on like this!
Even under President Bush, these entitlements nearly doubled.
Republicans have never been the answer. We need a new party.

“Under President Obama, government will spend more on welfare in a single year than President George W. Bush spent on the war in Iraq during his entire presidency. According to the Congressional Research Service, the cost of the Iraq war through the end of the Bush Administration was around $622 billion. By contrast, annual federal and state means-tested welfare spending will reach $888 billion in FY 2010. Federal welfare spending alone will equal $697 billion in that year.” Idiot liberals, you have lost every war since Vietnam, why NOT the War on Poverty. Figures.

“What are they calling poor? The so called poor around here have cell phones, money for drugs ,tobacco and cars.”
The ones around here do too, as well as the women having their hair and nail done on a regular basis. Also, none look to be going hungry, a huge percentage are obese.

Its called malinvestment. And historically i the world's greatest documentation of misallocation of resources.

Yeah! but, those whore's can only spawn one every 9 months, whereas, those Tomcats can spawn 24/7/365. He He
The tomcats need to be identified at the time the whores try to get handouts.
Seriously, it is time to make them pay for what they produce, tax them, rofl.
They only way I can see is Name them, make them pay, castrate, or go to prison. At least in prison they won't be inflicting more and more welfare idiots on us.
Something needs to be done, thats for sure.
