Doesn't have to be a miracle. You have the opportunity to feed them, why don't you?

the people most "fed" with our tax dollars are the scummy politicians who buy votes with out wealth and with that more riches and power. Look at the Gores, millionaires from holding public office. same with the clintons and the Obamatards

Never said you were a Nazi. Simply stating history.

Ever been to a country with starving people? Those with enough income to live well also live in fear...if you destroy the middle class, you destroy the quality of life of almost everyone (except rich sociopaths). Providing the basics of life to the poor helps keep you safe, and in this country, we're supposed to have an opportunity for upward mobility. Smart, hard-working poor kids are supposed to get a chance...and when they do, we all benefit.

Do you seriously believe that the only, or even the primary, reason people are poor is "sloth". Honestly, do you believe that?

poor choices

if you don't make them your chance of being poor is less than one in 20

Unemployment insurance is not welfare. Your analysis of what's wrong is so all over the place, I really can't respond. Anyone who doesn't share your hatred of the poor must also be poor themselves? What sort of logic is this?

I also disapprove of any sort of fraud and I think there's far too much corporate welfare...but I fail to see how poor people are responsible for either one.

Poor people with liberals vote in and maintain these programs by electing officals like Obama that supports the policies behind them and wishes to establish new programs to further the influence of the mindset.

And unemployment checks are welfare and do not fit the bill of insurance for the same reasons SS does not.

That's absurd. Just utterly absurd. I can't fathom how your view of the economy could be so naive... It really blows my mind... People who are born into poverty have far, far, fewer options. They likely go to a school that hardly educates at all, they maybe have to skip college to support their sibling or parent, they don't have good nutrition when they're growing up, they have to deal with crime on a daily basis, etc, etc... Those aren't bad choices... Are people who are disabled that way because they made a bad choice? Are people that are born in a city where the main industry went belly up all making bad choices? And the kids of rich people all just happen to make good choices? I just can't get my head around how you could be so out of touch... Have you not ever known poor people? Like in real life, not some fake story about how you know a bunch of crackheads having kids for the welfare or whatever lies, actual poor people? Most of them I've known in my life are 10 times as obsessed with trying to improve their situation than any middle class person... A lot of them realize early on that no matter what they do, they'll never get out of poverty themselves, but decide that if they focus all their resources and efforts around the goal of giving their kid a shot maybe, just maybe, if he works insanely hard, he might have a shot of getting out of poverty... And even that usually isn't enough... I think you're living in a cartoon based on stuff you hear right wing pundits say. The real world isn't remotely like that. In the real world people's economic outcomes are the result of a long list of factors. Hard work and good choices certainly are amongst them, but by no means do they dominate all the other factors...

Man this thread really took off....

Lets see here... The question is why should i feed them?

Well you personally do not feed them the food agencies food them...

And mainly because this is usually what happens....




Now if you want America to look like some "libertarian dream" of no social programs then go right ahead TurtleDude...
