Democrats pander to those who pay no or little taxes.

Used to work at a building across the street from which resided an enormous flock of pigeons. Wondered why so many of the nuisance birds congregated there.

One day happened to glance out the window and saw a shabbily dressed man broadcasting large quantities of bird seed around the bus stop across the street.

Understood the problem.

Caption for Welfare One Mile sign....

Welfare applicant: Can somebody give me a free ride there? A mile is a long way to walk. Maybe a cold soft drink, too.

How often have you heard economists and conservatives talk about how deficit spending will ruin the US economy ??

Eventually the bills have to be paid, but most people don’t see the danger and don’t care so long as they get their piece of the welfare pie....

You want to talk about a revolution, let the economy go into a deep 1930’s style depression with surging inflation and we will see violence in the streets when the welfare train eventually stops...

IMO, until that happens we can go on spending like there is no tomorrow because no one in either party really cares...

The coronavirus pandemic caused very real economic hardship for millions of American families.

I thought it was from Totalitarian Politicians Quarantining Healthy People. By the Way since the vast majority of deaths were in the 80 plus category, how could that have a major effect on the Economy or Businesses, since they were ALL RETIRED??

I heard an interview with a man who was in a government office when Obama took over.

He got all the paperwork arranged for a big pile of welfare applicants and said to his supervisor “I’ll get started on matching all of them to work possibilities and people to contact.”
His boss said an order from the top (Obama) is to stop requiring they look for work as of now. “Just keep the accounts ongoing even if they don’t report they are looking.”

So millions got used to the totally free ride system.

True story. A friend of mine was laid off last April from $500/week waitress job. I offered to hire her at $650/week for office clerk. State paid her $400/wk unemployment. Covid relief bumped that to $800/wk. She declined my offer and said she would rather do nothing. It paid better.

Eternal truth

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

True in my case. Made $2500 a week pre-covid lockdown and layoff

Get $918 a week in Unemployment Benefits.

Do you think I will work a brutal manual labor job for even half that? A mere $492.80 a week? Hell no.

And as long as the US government and businesses prefer H1B Indian scumbags instead of Americans, I’m be content with the $918 UI benefits a week until September.

BTW, foreign income earned inside the US doesn’t have to be reported as income. No SSN, no W2 or no 1099 form. It’s basically untraceable and no where the report it in the various state UI portals.

Hate to break it to you, but those are generally people in poor red states. Avg income is now 59,000 in red states with many under the pay no income tax threshold. We know many red states get back 2x what they send to the fed.

So... maybe let the rich blue staters foot the bills

Perfect time to bring in millions of illegal aliens and put them on welfare.

So being forced out of 30-year career by the Cheap Indian Labor Express, I should start back at the bottom while being in my mid-50s working in a brutal part-time minimum wage manual labor job?

Hate to break it to you, but those are the only jobs willing to overlook decades of experience while hiring.

What pure laziness is: most American companies and corporations preferring Cheap Indian and Mexican Labor.

you know damn well what i’m talking about, people who game the system, not people who found themselves out of a job due to no fault of their own

if a person is on a full welfare ride at taxpayers expense, i see no reason why asking for labor in return is considered unreasonable as in all cash for no work crowd says
