"I'll have those Ni--- voting democratic for the next 200 years."
~Lyndon Baines Johnson
Heck, some of these “poor” eat better than the taxpayers who pay for their groceries, and they get to sit around all day and watch teevee (if they’re not out robbing some taxpayer) to boot.
Before Gingrich took the Congress in 1994, the figure we used to use for how the welfare dollar was spent, was a shocking 72 cents was taken by the condo buying pensioned government workers, and only 28 cents made it to the welfare people.
Why can they say “War on Poverty” and “War on Women,” but they can’t say “War on Terror?”
Problem is that "the People" succumb to the propaganda doled out by the politicians instead of rejecting the notion for what it is--an enslaving idea which buys votes, wastes the fruits of the labors of hard-working individuals, and creates dependency among those who are its victims.
Socialism in its many guises has been destroying this country for a century. Labor unions, federal income tax, ‘public’ schools, social programs too numerous to mention, politics as a career choice, Law by Agency, etc. The “war on poverty” is a relatively late-comer to the game.
More truth in that headline than in anything I’ve read in a LOOOOONG time.
BTTT
The media got one to two trillion of those dollars- in advertising costs on the goods bought.
They’d have got none of it if it had gone to job-building investments instead of to subsidized consumer spending. *actually, those missing investments would be returning much more to the media today- but they didn’t want to wait. Media managers bonuses are paid quarterly...
The war on poverty is marxism communism socialism and facism rolled in one, give to those who will not do for themselves
Freedom for all, not only the special interests. That means dump the planning offices, building offices, impact fees and other fees. Dump zoning regulations outside of city limits. Dump HOAs. Dump regulations against camping on one’s own property. Dump property taxes on primary homes and the lots that go with them.
Otherwise, have fun, and enjoy the slide.
